AND ISAAC CALLED JACOB,
AND BLESSED HIM,
AND CHARGED HIM,
AND SAID UNTO HIM,
THOU SHALT NOT TAKE A WIFE
OF THE DAUGHTERS OF CANAAN.
Arise,
go to Padanaram,
to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father;
and take thee a wife from thence
of the daughters of Laban
thy mother’s brother.
And God Almighty bless thee,
and make thee fruitful,
and multiply thee,
that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
And give thee the blessing of Abraham,
to thee,
and to thy seed with thee;
that thou mayest inherit the land
wherein thou art a stranger,
which God gave unto Abraham.
And Isaac sent away Jacob:
and he went to Padanaram
unto Laban,
son of Bethuel the Syrian,
the brother of Rebekah,
Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob,
and sent him away to Padanaram,
to take him a wife from thence;
and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge,
saying,
Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
And that Jacob obeyed his father
and his mother,
and was gone to Padanaram;
And Esau
seeing that the daughters of Canaan
pleased not Isaac
his father;
Then went Esau unto Ishmael,
and took unto the wives
which he had
Mahalath
the daughter of Ishmael
Abraham’s son,
the sister of Nebajoth,
to be his wife.
And Jacob went out from Beersheba,
and went toward Haran.
