Isaac blesses Jacob (again) with instructions on who to marry (Genesis 27:46 - 28:9)

Rebekah told Isaac, “I’m disgusted with these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a Hittite wife, my life will not be worth living.” In response to her complaint, Isaac called for Jacob, blessed him, and commanded, “Do not marry a Canaanite woman. Go at once to Paddan Aram (where Rebekah’s father, Bethuel lived) and take a wife for yourself from among the daughters of Laban.”
