38 But Esau said to his father, 'Do you have one blessing, my father?' Bless me also, my father! And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

39 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, 'Behold, of the fat of the earth shall thy dwelling, and of the dew of heaven on high;

40 And thou shalt live by thy sword, and shalt serve thy brother; and the time will come when thou shalt resist, and cast off his yoke from thy neck.

41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him; And Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand, and I will kill Jacob my brother.

42 And the words of Esau her eldest son were spoken to Rebekah; And she sent, and called her youngest son Jacob, and said to him, Behold, Esau thy brother threatens to kill thee;

43 And now, my son, listen to my words, arise, and flee to Laban my brother to Haran,

44 And thou shalt dwell with him a little while, until thy brother's wrath shall be satisfied,

45 Until your brother's anger against you is satisfied, and he forgets what you have done to him, then will I send and take you from thence; Why should I lose both of you in one day?

46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, 'I have no pleasure in life because of the daughters of the Hittites; if Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of the Hittites, such as these, from the daughters of this land, then what good is my life for?

Chapter 28

1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and commanded him, and said, Thou shalt not take thee a wife from the daughters of Canaan;

2 Arise, and go to Mesopotamia, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father, and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.

3 And God Almighty bless thee, that he may multiply thee, and that he may multiply thee, and that of thee there shall be a multitude of nations,

4 And may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, and thee and thy descendants with thee, that thou mayest inherit the land of thy pilgrimage which God gave unto Abraham.
