Open this scene in the reader →1Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and commanded him, saying, “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.”
2Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel, your mother's father, and take for yourself from there a wife from the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
3And may God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, so that you may become an assembly of peoples.
4May he give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, so that you may possess the land of your sojournings, which God gave to Abraham.
5So Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
