Genesis 28:1-4 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Then Isaac called Jacob and ­blessed him. Then he charged him and said to him, “You must not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.

2. Arise, go to Paddan Aram to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father, and take for yourself a wife from there, from the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother.

3. May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, so that you may become a multitude of people.

4. May He give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and your descendants with you, that you may inherit the land where you are a stranger, which God gave to Abraham.”
