1 Isaac summoned Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him: “Don’t take a wife from the Canaanite women.
2 Go at once to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father. Marry one of the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.
3 May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you so that you become an assembly of peoples.
4 May God give you and your offspring the blessing of Abraham so that you may possess the land where you live as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”
5 So Isaac sent Jacob to Paddan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
