Genesis 28:6-9
New English Translation

6 Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him off to Paddan Aram to find a wife there.[a] As he blessed him,[b] Isaac commanded him, “You must not marry a Canaanite woman.”[c] 7 Jacob obeyed his father and mother and left for Paddan Aram. 8 Then Esau realized[d] that the Canaanite women[e] were displeasing to[f] his father Isaac. 9 So Esau went to Ishmael and married[g] Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Abraham’s son Ishmael, along with the wives he already had.
