Génesis 28:5 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 28:5

And Isaac sent away Jacob
From Beersheba; not in anger, or in a dishonourable way, but took his leave of him no doubt in an affectionate manner; as it is clear he went with his blessing, and had his good wishes for a prosperous journey: and he went to Padanaram;
which from Beersheba, according to some F8, was four hundred and eighty miles: unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian;
some versions make Laban to be the Syrian, others Bethuel; it is a matter of no great moment which is here so called, since they were both called Syrians, see ( Genesis 25:20 ) : the brother of Rebekah;
this refers to Laban, for Bethuel was her father: Jacob's and Esau's mother;
Jacob is set first, not only as being most beloved by his mother, but as now having the birthright and the blessing.

Génesis 28:5 In-Context

3 Que el Dios Todopoderoso te bendiga, te haga fecundo y haga que salgan de ti numerosas naciones.
4 Que también te dé, a ti y a tu descendencia, la bendición de Abraham, para que puedan poseer esta tierra donde ahora vives como extranjero, esta tierra que Dios le prometió a Abraham.
5 Así envió Isaac a Jacob a Padán Aram, a la casa de Labán, quien era hijo de Betuel el arameo, y hermano de Rebeca, la madre de Jacob y de Esaú.
6 Esaú supo que Isaac había bendecido a Jacob, y que lo había enviado a Padán Aram para casarse allá. También se enteró de que, al bendecirlo, le dio la orden de no casarse con ninguna cananea,
7 y de que Jacob había partido hacia Padán Aram en obediencia a su padre y a su madre.
