Génesis 28:6 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 28:6

And when Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob
Had conferred the blessing before given, or had wished him a good journey; which perhaps may be all that Esau understood by it, and so was not so much offended with it: and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence;
which likewise might not be displeasing to him, partly as he understood it to be only on account of taking a wife, and not on account of his ill design upon him, which he might imagine his parents knew nothing of; and partly as he would now be out of the way, and he might find means the easier to ingratiate himself into his father's favour, and get him to revoke the blessing, and settle the inheritance upon him: and that as he blessed him, he gave him a charge, saying, thou shalt
not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
or of the Canaanites, of any of the tribes or nations that belonged to that people, whether Hittites or others.

Génesis 28:6 In-Context

4 Que Dios te dé a ti y a tu descendencia
las bendiciones que prometió a Abraham. Que llegues a ser dueño de esta tierra donde ahora vives como extranjero, porque Dios le entregó esta tierra a Abraham.

5 Así que Isaac despidió a Jacob, y él se fue a Padán-aram a quedarse con su tío Labán, hermano de su madre, hijo de Betuel el arameo.

6 Esaú se enteró de que su padre Isaac había bendecido a Jacob y lo había enviado a Padán-aram para que encontrara una esposa, y que le había advertido a Jacob: «No te cases con una mujer cananea».

7 También supo que Jacob había obedecido a sus padres y se había ido a Padán-aram.

8 A Esaú ya no le quedaban dudas de que a su padre no le agradaban las mujeres cananeas del lugar.
