²⁸ Isaac, who had a taste for wild game,^(A) loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob.^(B)

Jacob Takes Esau’s Blessing

³⁴ When Esau was forty years old,^(A) he married Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.^{(B) 35} They were a source of grief to Isaac and Rebekah.^(C)

⁴⁶ Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I’m disgusted with living because of these Hittite^(A) women. If Jacob takes a wife from among the women of this land,^(B) from Hittite women like these, my life will not be worth living.”^(C)

⁸ Esau then realized how displeasing the Canaanite women^(A) were to his father Isaac;^{(B) 9} so he went to Ishmael^(C) and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth^(D) and daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham, in addition to the wives he already had.^(E)
