Genesis 28:2-5
New American Standard Bible
2 Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of (A)Bethuel your mother’s father; and from there take to yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother. 3 May [a](B)God Almighty (C)bless you and (D)make you fruitful and (E)multiply you, so that you may become a (F)multitude of peoples. 4 May He also give you the (G)blessing of Abraham, to you and to your [b]descendants with you, so that you may (H)possess the land where you (I)live as a stranger, which God gave to Abraham.” 5 Then (J)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.
