Genesis 28:6 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan; — Genesis 28:6
Source Coverage: Genesis 28:6-9
