Isaac Tells Jacob to Find a
Wife
 Genesis 28:1-5
1
So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. Then he commanded him: “Do
not marry a Canaanite woman.
2 Go at once to Paddan Aram, to the house of your mother’s father
Bethuel. Take a wife for yourself there, from among the daughters of
Laban, your mother’s brother.
3 May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and increase your
numbers until you become a community of peoples.
4 May he give you and your descendants the blessing given to
Abraham, so that you may take possession of the land where you now reside
as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”
5 Then Isaac sent Jacob on his way, and he went to Paddan Aram, to
Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, who was the
mother of Jacob and Esau.

Marries Two Sisters, Leah and Rachel
Genesis
29:1-35
1 Then
Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the
east.
2 As he looked, he saw a well in the field, and behold, three
flocks of sheep lying beside it, for out of that well the flocks were
watered. The stone on the well's mouth was large,
3 and when all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds
would roll the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep, and
put the stone back in its place over the mouth of the well.
