Genesis 28:2-4

The Voice

² Get up and pack your things, go to Paddan-aram to the house of Bethuel (your mother’s father), and find a wife there among Laban’s daughters. (Laban is your mother’s brother.) ³ May the All-Powerful God^[a] bless you, make you fruitful, and multiply your descendants so that you will give rise to nation after nation! ⁴ May God give to you and to your children in this inheritance all of the blessings of Abraham, so that you might someday possess the land where you now live as a foreigner—a land that was promised by God to Abraham.
