Take a wife for yourself there, from among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and increase your numbers until you become a community of peoples.May he give you and your descendants the blessing given to Abraham, so that you may take possession of the land where you now reside as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”

If anyone is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if his passions are too strong and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants.
