1. So Isaac summoned Jacob, blessed him, and gave him these orders: "Don’t marry a Canaanite woman.
2. Get up and go to Paddan-aram, to the household of Bethuel, your mother’s father, and once there, marry one of the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.
3. God Almighty will bless you, make you fertile, and give you many descendants so that you will become a large group of peoples.
4. He will give you and your descendants Abraham’s blessing so that you will own the land in which you are now immigrants, the land God gave to Abraham."
5. So Isaac sent Jacob off, and he traveled to Paddan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean and brother of Rebekah, Jacob and Esau’s mother.
6. Esau understood that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him to Paddan-aram to marry a woman from there. He recognized that, when Isaac blessed Jacob, he had ordered him, "Don’t marry a Canaanite woman,"
