These women brought Isaac and Rebekah a lot of grief.
I want you to swear by the Lord God of heaven and earth that you will not get my son a wife from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I’m living.
Rebekah said to Isaac, “I can’t stand Hittite women! If Jacob marries a Hittite woman like one of those from around here, I might as well die.”
Esau realized that his father Isaac disapproved of Canaanite women.
The sons of God saw that the daughters of other humans were beautiful. So they married any woman they chose.
