Genesis 28

¹And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, saying: Take not a wife of the stock of Chanaan:

²But go, and take a journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bathuel thy mother’s father, and take thee a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy uncle.

³And God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase, and multiply thee: that thou mayst be a multitude of people.

⁴And give the blessings of Abraham to thee, and to thy seed after thee: that thou mayst possess the land of thy sojournment, which he promised to thy grandfather.

⁵And when Isaac had sent him away, he took his journey and went to Mesopotamia of Syria to Laban the son of Bathuel the Syrian, brother to Rebecca his mother.

⁶And Esau seeing that his father had blessed Jacob, and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to marry a wife thence; and that after the blessing he had charged him, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Chanaan:

⁷And that Jacob obeying his parents was gone into Syria:

⁸Experiencing also that his father was not well pleased with the daughters of Chanaan:

⁹He went to Ismael, and took to wife, besides them he had before, Maheleth the daughter of Ismael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nabajoth.

¹⁰But Jacob being departed from Bersabee, went on to Haran.

¹¹And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same place.
