3 "And may The Strong God bless you and give you many, many children, a congregation of peoples;

4 and pass on the blessing of Abraham to you and your descendants so that you will get this land in which you live, this land God gave Abraham."

2 Go at once to Paddan Aram, to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel. Take a wife for yourself there, from among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.

3 May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and increase your numbers until you become a community of peoples.

4 May he give you and your descendants the blessing given to Abraham, so that you may take possession of the land where you now reside as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”
