1 Isaac called in Jacob, then gave him a blessing, and said:Don't marry any of those Canaanite women.
2 Go at once to your mother's father Bethuel in northern Syria and choose a wife from one of the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
3 I pray that God All-Powerful will bless you with many descendants and let you become a great nation.
4 May he bless you with the land he promised Abraham, so that you will take over this land where we now live as foreigners.
5 Isaac then sent Jacob to stay with Rebekah's brother Laban, the son of Bethuel the Aramean.
