not Isaac his father; then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the sister of Nebaioth to be his wife (xxvi. 34 seq., xxvii. 46, xxviii. 1-9).  And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for her handmaid.  And he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife.  And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid (xxix.24, 28b, 29).  And the sons of Jacob were twelve.  The sons of Leah:  Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, Simeon, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun.  The sons of Rachel:  Joseph and Benjamin.  The sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid:  Dan and Naphtali.  The sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid:  Gad and Asher; these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padan-Aram (xxxv. 23-26)....[and Jacob took] all his goods which he had gotten, the gear of his property which he had gotten in Padan-Aram, to go home to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan (xxx). 18).  And God appeared unto Jacob when he was coming home from Padan-Aram, and blessed him; and God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob; thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name.  And God said unto him; I am El Shaddai; be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; and the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.  And God went up from him in the place where He talked with him.  And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him Bethel (xxxv. 9-13, 15).  And they departed from Bethel; and when there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath, Rachel died, and was buried there in the way to Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem (xxxv. 16a, 19, cf. xlviii. 7, xlix. 3I).  And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto Kirjath-Arba, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac dwelt as strangers.  And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.  And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days; and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him” (xxxv. 27-29.)

“And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan, and went into the land of Seir from the face of his brother Jacob.  For their riches were more than that they might dwell together, and the land of their sojourn could not bear them because of their cattle.  And Esau dwelt in Mount Seir; Esau is Edom.  And Jacob dwelt in the land of the sojourn of his father, in the land of Canaan (xxxvi. 6-8, xxxvii. 1).  These are the Toledoth of Jacob...(xxxxvii. 2).  And they took their cattle, and their goods, which
