6 Esau found out that his father Isaac had blessed Jacob and had warned him not to marry any of the Canaanite women. He also learned that Jacob had been sent to find a wife in northern Syria
7 and that he had obeyed his father and mother.
8 Esau already had several wives, but he now realized how much his father hated the Canaanite women.
9 So he married Ishmael's daughter Mahalath, who was the sister of Nebaioth and the granddaughter of Abraham.
10 Jacob left the town of Beersheba and started out for Haran.
11 At sunset he stopped for the night and went to sleep, resting his head on a large rock.
12 In a dream he saw a ladder that reached from earth to heaven, and God's angels were going up and down on it.
