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 So Isaac summoned Jacob, blessed him, and gave him these orders: "Don't marry a Canaanite woman.

2 Get up and go to Paddan-aram, to the household of Bethuel, your mother's father, and once there, marry one of the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.

3 God Almighty will bless you, make you fertile, and give you many descendants so that you will become a large group of peoples.

4 He will give you and your descendants Abraham's blessing so that you will own the land in which you are now immigrants, the land God gave to Abraham."

5 So Isaac sent Jacob off, and he traveled to Paddan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean and brother of Rebekah, Jacob and Esau's mother.
