Genesis 28:8 in Context — Genesis 28

6 Ésaü vit qu’Isaac avait béni Jacob, et qu’il l’avait envoyé à Paddan-Aram pour y prendre une femme, et qu’en le bénissant il lui avait donné cet ordre: Tu ne prendras pas une femme parmi les filles de Canaan.

7 Il vit que Jacob avait obéi à son père et à sa mère, et qu’il était parti pour Paddan-Aram.

8 Ésaü comprit ainsi que les filles de Canaan déplaisaient à Isaac, son père.

9 Et Ésaü s’en alla vers Ismaël. Il prit pour femme, outre les femmes qu’il avait, Mahalath, fille d’Ismaël, fils d’Abraham, et sœur de Nebajoth.

10 Jacob partit de Beer-Schéba, et s’en alla à Charan.
