A syrian

but you will go to my country and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son 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, to be his wife.

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

And Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was fleeing.

Now Jacob fled to the land of Aram,
And Israel worked for a wife,
And for a wife he kept sheep.

He went down

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

Israel also came into Egypt;

Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

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

Became

Your fathers went down to Egypt seventy persons in all, and now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven.

Now Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in Goshen, and they acquired property in it and were fruitful and became very numerous.

But the sons of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly, and multiplied, and became exceedingly mighty, so that the land was filled with them.
