Jacob Sent to Paddan-aram — Genesis

41Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him. Esau said in his heart, "The days of mourning for my father are approaching, and I will kill Jacob my brother." 42When the words of her older son Esau were reported to Rebekah, she sent and called her younger son Jacob and said to him, "Behold, your brother Esau is comforting himself concerning you by planning to kill you." 43Now therefore, my son, listen to my voice and arise; flee to my brother Laban in Haran. 44Stay with him a few days until your brother's rage turns away. 45Until your brother's anger turns away from you and he forgets what you did to him; then I will send and take you from there. Why should I be bereaved of both of you in one day? 46Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth like these daughters of the land, what good is life to me?"

Chapter 28

1Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, commanded him, and said to him, "You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan." 2Arise, go to Paddan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father, and take a wife for yourself there from the daughters of Laban your mother's brother. 3May El the Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, so that you become an assembly of peoples. 4May he give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may possess the land of your sojournings, which God gave to Abraham. 5Isaac sent Jacob, and he went to Paddan-Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau. 6Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him to Paddan-Aram to take a wife from there, when he blessed him and commanded him, You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan. 7Jacob obeyed his father and his mother and went to Paddan-Aram. 8Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were displeasing in the eyes of Isaac his father. 9Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham, the sister of Nebaioth, in addition to his wives, as a wife for himself.
