Genesis 28:6-9 - Esau Marries An Ishmaelite

6 Esau noticed that after Isaac had blessed Jacob as he was sending him off to Paddan-aram to marry a wife from there, he had instructed Jacob, "Don't marry a Canaanite woman." 7 After Jacob had obeyed his father and mother's instructions to set out for Paddan-aram, 8 Esau realized that Canaan women didn't please his father Isaac, 9 so he went to Abraham's son Ishmael and married Ishmael's daughter Mahalath, who was the sister of Nebaioth.
