Isaac Sends Jacob to Laban (GEN 27:46-28:5)

[27:46] Rebecca said to Isaac, “I am sick and tired of Esau's foreign wives. If Jacob also marries one of these Hittites, I might as well die.”

[28:1] Isaac called Jacob, greeted him, and told him, “Don't marry a Canaanite.

[28:2] Go instead to Mesopotamia, to the home of your grandfather Bethuel, and marry one of the young women there, one of your uncle Laban's daughters.

[28:3] May Almighty God bless your marriage and give you many children, so that you will become the father of many nations!

[28:4] May he bless you and your descendants as he blessed Abraham, and may you take possession of this land, in which you have lived and which God gave to Abraham!”

[28:5] Isaac sent Jacob away to Mesopotamia, to Laban, who was the son of Bethuel the Aramean and the brother of Rebecca, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
