And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.

And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept {sheep}.

These {be} the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters {were} thirty and three.

And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;

Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.

I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands. {I am not...: Heb. I am less than all}

And Rebekah had a brother, and his name {was} Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.

And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.

And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.

And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master {were} in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor. {for: or, and}

Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east. {went...: Heb. lift up his feet} {people: Heb. children}

But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. {residue: or, excellency} {godly...: Heb. seed of God} {treacherously: or, unfaithfully}

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, {saying}, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these {are} the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.

And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which {is} in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city. {Shechem: Gr. Sychem}

And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. {Rebekah: Gr. Rebecca}
