Genesis 28:2 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 28:2

Arise, go to Padanaram
Of this place, (See Gill on Genesis 25:20); either he is bid to go directly, in haste and alone; perhaps by this time Rebekah had given Isaac some hint of the ill design of Esau against him, which made Isaac the more urgent upon him to be gone, as well as it was high time he had took to himself a wife: to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father;
who though now dead in all probability, yet the house and family went by his name: and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy
mother's brother:
who had daughters unmarried, of which no doubt Isaac and Rebekah had knowledge, a correspondence being kept up between the two families, though at a great distance.

Genesis 28:2 In-Context

1 Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, "You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women.

2 Go at once to Paddan-aram to the house of Bethuel, your mother's father; and take as wife from there one of the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.

3 May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and numerous, that you may become a company of peoples.

4 May he give to you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, so that you may take possession of the land where you now live as an alien—land that God gave to Abraham."

5 Thus Isaac sent Jacob away; and he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
