Genesis 28:2-5
New King James Version
2 (A)Arise, go to (B)Padan Aram, to the house of (C)Bethuel your mother’s father; and take yourself a wife from there of the daughters of (D)Laban your mother’s brother.
3 “May (E)God Almighty bless you,
And make you (F)fruitful and multiply you,
That you may be an assembly of peoples;
4 And give you (G)the blessing of Abraham,
To you and your descendants with you,
That you may inherit the land
(H)In[a] which you are a stranger,
Which God gave to Abraham.”
5 So Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Padan Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
