Esav adds a non-Canaanite wife

Gen 28:6–9

28:6 Esav adds a non-Canaanite wife

6 Now Esav (Esau) noticed that Yitshak (Isaac) had blessed Ya’akov (Jacob) and sent him to Padan-Aram to take a wife for himself from there. He’d also noticed that when Yitshak had blessed him, he’d instructed him not to take a wife from the Kena’ani (Canaanite) girls, 7 and that Ya’akov had listened to his parents and travelled to Padan-Aram. 8 As a result, Esav realised that his father wasn’t happy about the Kena’ani girls 9 so he went to Yishmael (Ishmael) and he took Mahalat as an additional wife. She was the daughter of Avraham’s son Yishmael, and was the sister of Nevayot.
