To you and your descendants with you,
That you may inherit the land
^bIn which you are a stranger,
Which God gave to Abraham.”

6 Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Padan Aram to take himself a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,”

7 and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to Padan Aram.

8 Also Esau saw ^athat the daughters of Canaan did not please his father Isaac.

9 So Esau went to Ishmael and ^atook ^bMahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, ^cthe sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.

11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep.
