Genesis 28:1-2
1599 Geneva Bible
28 1 Isaac forbiddeth Jacob to take a wife of the Canaanites. 6 Esau taketh a wife of the daughters of Ishmael against his father’s will. 12 Jacob in the way to Haran seeth a ladder reaching to heaven. 14 Christ is promised.
1 Then Isaac called Jacob and [a]blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, take not a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
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.
