NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Esau found out that his father Isaac had blessed Jacob and had warned him not to marry any of the Canaanite women. He also learned that Jacob had been sent to find a wife in northern Syria. ⁷ Jacob did as his father and mother said. He went to Paddan-aram. ⁸ It was clear to Esau that his father despised the local Canaanite women. ⁹ So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath, the daughter of Abraham’s son Ishmael, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.
