1599 Geneva Bible
2 Arise, (A)get thee to (B)Padan Aram to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father, and thence take thee a wife of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.
3 And God all [a]sufficient bless thee, and make thee to increase, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people,
4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, even to thee and to thy seed with thee, that thou mayest inherit the land (wherein thou art a [b]stranger,) which God gave unto Abraham.
