some of the heavenly beings saw that these young women were beautiful, so they took the ones they liked.

Rebecca said to Isaac, "I am sick and tired of Esau's foreign wives. If Jacob also marries one of these Hittites, I might as well die."

Isaac called Jacob, greeted him, and told him, "Don't marry a Canaanite.

Go instead to Mesopotamia, to the home of your grandfather Bethuel, and marry one of the young women there, one of your uncle Laban's daughters.

Esau then understood that his father Isaac did not approve of Canaanite women.
