46 Then Rebekah said to Isaac, ^e“I loathe my life because of the Hittite women.^{1 f}If Jacob marries one of the Hittite women like these, one of the women of the land, what good will my life be to me?”

1 Then Isaac called Jacob ^gand blessed him and directed him, ^f“You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women. 2 ^hArise, go to Paddan-aram to the house of ⁱBethuel your mother’s father, and take as your wife from there one of the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother. 3 ^jGod Almighty² bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may become a company of peoples. 4 May he give ^kthe blessing of Abraham to you and to your offspring with you, that you may take possession of ^lthe land of your sojournings that God gave to Abraham!” 5 Thus Isaac sent Jacob away. And he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban, the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
