5 So Isaac sent Jacob on his way, and he went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean and brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

6 Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him off to Paddan Aram to find a wife there.[a] As he blessed him,[b] Isaac commanded him, “You must not marry a Canaanite woman.”[c] 7 Jacob obeyed his father and mother and left for Paddan Aram.
