A syrian

But that you will go into my country and to my relations and get a wife there for my son Isaac.

Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, and the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife.

So Isaac sent Jacob away: and he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramaean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

And Jacob went away secretly, without giving news of his flight to Laban the Aramaean.

And Jacob went in flight into the field of Aram, and Israel became a servant for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.

He went down

And Israel went on his journey with all he had, and came to Beer-sheba, where he made offerings to the God of his father Isaac.

Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.

And Jacob went down to Egypt, and came to his end there, and so did our fathers;

Became

Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now the Lord your God has made you like the stars of heaven in number.

And so Israel was living among the Egyptians in the land of Goshen; and they got property there, and became very great in numbers and in wealth.

And the children of Israel were fertile, increasing very greatly in numbers and in power; and the land was full of them.
