1 SO ISAAC called Jacob and blessed him and commanded him, You shall not marry one of the women of Canaan. 2 Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father, and take from there as a wife one of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother. 3 May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you until you become a group of peoples. 4 May He give the blessing [He gave to] Abraham to you and your descendants with you, that you may inherit the land He gave to Abraham, in which you are a sojourner. 5 Thus Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Padan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob and Esau's mother.
