[27:37] Isaac answered Esau, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants. With grain and new wine have I sustained him. What then will I do for you, my son?"
[27:38] Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
[27:39] Isaac his father answered him,
"Behold, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above. [27:40] By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you shall shake his yoke from off your neck."
[27:41] Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, "The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob."
[27:42] The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, "Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you. [27:43] Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran. [27:44] Stay with him a few days, until your brother's fury turns away; [27:45] until your brother's anger turn away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?"
[27:46] Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?"
[28:1] Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, "You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. [28:2] Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother. [28:3] May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples, [28:4] and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your seed with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham."
[28:5] Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, Rebekah's brother, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
[28:6] Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, "You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan," [28:7] and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram. [28:8] Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn't please Isaac, his father. [28:9] Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
