46 Then Rebekah told her husband Yitshak, “I’m quite disgusted with those daughters of Het. If Yacob chooses a wife like Het’s daughters from this culture around us here, I wouldn’t be able to bear it.”

28 So Yitshak called for Yacob and blessed him, and instructed him, “Don’t take a wife from the Caananite girls. 2 Pack up and go to Paddan Aram—to the home of your mother’s father Bethuel and get yourself a wife from there—from the daughters of your mother’s brother Lavan. 3 And may the powerful God bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you so that you become a community of peoples. 4 May he give the same blessing of Abraham to you—to you and to your offspring with you—so that you will own the land where you’ve been staying and which God gave to Abraham.”[ref] 5 Then Yitshak sent Yacob away, and he went to Paddan Aram—to Lavan, the son of Bethuel the Aramean and the brother of Yacob and Esau’s mother Rebekah.
