Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed
him, and charged him, and said to him: “You shall not take a wife from the
daughters of Canaan.
2 “Arise, go to Padan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your
moth’s father; and take yourself a wife from there of the daughters of Laban
your mother’s brother.
3 “May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful and
multiply you, that you may be an assembly of peoples;
4 And give you the
blessing of Abraham, to you and your descendants with you, that you may inherit
the land in which you are a stranger, which God gave to Abraham.”
5 So Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Padan Aram, to
Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of
Jacob and Esau.
6 Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away
to Padan Aram to take himself a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he
gave him a charge, saying “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of
Canaan,”
7 And that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and
had come to Padan Aram.
8 Also Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please
his father Isaac.
9 So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath the daughter of
Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife in addition to
the wives he had.
10 Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran.
11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night,
because the sun had set. And he took one
of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that
place to sleep.
