⁴⁶ Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I’m disgusted with living because of these Hittite^(A) women. If Jacob takes a wife from among the women of this land,^(B) from Hittite women like these, my life will not be worth living.”^(C)

28 So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed^(D) him. Then he commanded him: “Do not marry a Canaanite woman.^{(E) 2} Go at once to Paddan Aram,^[a](F) to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel.^(G) Take a wife for yourself there, from among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.^{(H) 3} May God Almighty^[b](I) bless^(J) you and make you fruitful^(K) and increase your numbers^(L) until you become a community of peoples. ⁴ May he give you and your descendants the blessing given to Abraham,^(M) so that you may take possession of the land^(N) where you now reside as a foreigner,^(O) the land God gave to Abraham.” ⁵ Then Isaac sent Jacob on his way,^(P) and he went to Paddan Aram,^(Q) to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean,^(R) the brother of Rebekah,^(S) who was the mother of Jacob and Esau.

⁶ Now Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan Aram to take a wife from there, and that when he blessed him he commanded him, “Do not marry a Canaanite woman,”^{(T) 7} and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and had gone to Paddan Aram. ⁸ Esau then realized how displeasing the Canaanite women^(U) were to his father Isaac;^{(V) 9} so he went to Ishmael^(W) and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth^(X) and daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham, in addition to the wives he already had.^(Y)
