but that you will go to my land and to my family, and take a wife for my son, for Isaac."

And Isaac was {forty years old} when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, as his wife.

Then Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Paddan-Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

And Jacob {tricked} Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he [intended to] flee.

Jacob fled [to] the open field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he watched over [sheep].

He went down

So Israel journeyed with all that he had, and he came to Beersheba and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.

Then Israel came [to] Egypt, and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Ham.

And Jacob went down to Egypt and died, he and our fathers.

Became

With [only] seventy persons your ancestors went down to Egypt, but now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the heaven {with respect to multitude}.

So Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they acquired possessions in it and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.

And the {Israelites} were fruitful and multiplied and were many and were very, very numerous, and the land was filled with them.
