*
Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him ,
and charged him , "
You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women .
*
Arise ,
go to Paddan-aram to the house of Bethu '
el your mother '
s father ;
and take as wife from there one of the daughters of Laban your mother '
s brother .
*
God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you ,
that you may become a company of peoples .
*
May he give the blessing of Abraham to you and to your descendants with you ,
that you may take possession of the land of your sojournings which God gave to Abraham !"
*
Thus Isaac sent Jacob away ;
and he went to Paddan-aram to Laban ,
the son of Bethu '
el the Aramean ,
the brother of Rebekah ,
Jacob '
s and Esau '
s mother .
*
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take a wife from there ,
and that as he blessed him he charged him , "
You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women ,"
*
and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and gone to Paddan-aram .
*
So when Esau saw that the Canaanite women did not please Isaac his father ,
*
Esau went to Ish '
mael and took to wife ,
besides the wives he had ,
Ma '
halath the daughter of Ish '
mael Abraham '
s son ,
the sister of Neba '
ioth .
