6 Esau noted that Isaac had blessed Jacob when he sent him to Paddan-aram to get himself a wife there, and that, as he gave him his blessing, he charged him, “You shall not marry a Canaanite woman,”

7 and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and gone to Paddan-aram.

8 Esau realized how displeasing the Canaanite women were to his father Isaac,

9 so Esau went to Ishmael, and in addition to the wives he had, married Mahalath, the daughter of Abraham’s son Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.
