Genesis 28:1-4 ▼

1 So Isaac summoned Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “Do not marry a Canaanite girl.

2 Go at once to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father. Marry one of the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.

3 May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you so that you become an assembly of peoples.

4 May God give you and your offspring the blessing of Abraham so that you may possess the land where you live as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”
