these are eight sons which Milcah bore to Nahor, the brother of Abraham.

And Isaac went into the house of his mother, and took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted over Sarah his mother.

And Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to meet the man, by the well.

So Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went into Mesopotamia, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca the mother of Jacob and Esau.

And Esau saw that Isaac blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Mesopotamia of Syria as he blessed him, to take to himself a wife from there, and [that] he charged him, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of the Canaanites;

and he took away all his possessions and all his store, which he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and all that belonged to him, to depart to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.

And Jacob hid [the matter from] Laban the Syrian, so as not to tell him that he ran away.

And God came to Laban the Syrian in sleep by night, and said to him, Take heed to yourself that you do not speak evil things to Jacob at any time.

And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luz, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.

and he shall answer and say before the Lord your God, My father abandoned Syria, and went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a small number, and became there a mighty nation and a great multitude.

And [there] were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian."
