Genesis 28:1-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

Jacob’s Flight to Laban

28 So Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan. ² Get up. Go to Paddan Aram,^[a] to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother. ³ May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, so that you may become a community of peoples. ⁴ May he give you and your descendants along with you the blessing he gave to Abraham, so that you may inherit the land where you have been living as an alien, the land God gave to Abraham.”

⁵ So Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, the son of Bethuel the Aramean. Laban was the brother of Rebekah, who was the mother of Jacob and Esau.
