*
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 .
