And he heard{H8085} the words{H1697} of Laban's{H3837} sons,{H1121} saying,{H559} Jacob{H3290} hath taken away{H3947} all that was our father's;{H1} and of that which was our father's{H1} hath he gotten{H6213} all this glory.{H3519}

And Jacob{H3290} beheld{H7200} the countenance{H6440} of Laban,{H3837} and, behold, it was not toward him as{H8543} beforetime.{H8032}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Jacob,{H3290} Return{H7725} unto the land{H776} of thy fathers,{H1} and to thy kindred;{H4138} and I will be with thee.

And Jacob{H3290} sent{H7971} and called{H7121} Rachel{H7354} and Leah{H3812} to the field{H7704} unto his flock,{H6629}

and said{H559} unto them, I see{H7200} your father's{H1} countenance,{H6440} that it is not toward me as{H8543} beforetime;{H8032} but the God{H430} of my father{H1} hath been{H1961} with me.

And ye{H859} know{H3045} that with all my power{H3581} I have served{H5647} your father.{H1}

And your father{H1} hath deceived{H2048} me, and changed{H2498} my wages{H4909} ten{H6235} times;{H4489} but God{H430} suffered him{H5414} not to hurt{H7489} me.{H5978}

If he said{H559} thus, The speckled{H5348} shall be thy wages;{H7939} then all the flock{H6629} bare{H3205} speckled:{H5348} and if he said{H559} thus, The ringstreaked{H6124} shall be thy wages;{H7939} then bare{H3205} all the flock{H6629} ringstreaked.{H6124}

Thus God{H430} hath taken away{H5337} the cattle{H4735} of your father,{H1} and given{H5414} them to me.

And it came to pass at the time{H6256} that the flock{H6629} conceive,{H3179} that I lifted up{H5375} mine eyes,{H5869} and saw{H7200} in a dream,{H2472} and, behold, the he-goats{H6260} which leaped{H5927} upon the flock{H6629} were ringstreaked,{H6124} speckled,{H5348} and grizzled.{H1261}

And the angel{H4397} of God{H430} said{H559} unto me in the dream,{H2472} Jacob:{H3290} and I said,{H559} Here am I.

And he said,{H559} Lift up{H5375} now thine eyes,{H5869} and see:{H7200} all the he-goats{H6260} which leap{H5927} upon the flock{H6629} are ringstreaked,{H6124} speckled,{H5348} and grizzled:{H1261} for I have seen{H7200} all that Laban{H3837} doeth{H6213} unto thee.

I am the God{H410} of Beth-el,{H1008} where thou anointedst{H4886} a pillar,{H4676} where thou vowedst{H5087} a vow{H5088} unto me: now arise,{H6965} get thee out{H3318} from this land,{H776} and return{H7725} unto the land{H776} of thy nativity.{H4138}

And Rachel{H7354} and Leah{H3812} answered{H6030} and said{H559} unto him, Is there yet any portion{H2506} or inheritance{H5159} for us in our father's{H1} house?{H1004}

Are we not accounted{H2803} by him as foreigners?{H5237} for he hath sold{H4376} us, and hath also quite{H398} devoured{H398} our money.{H3701}

For all the riches{H6239} which God{H430} hath taken{H5337} away from our father,{H1} that is ours and our children's:{H1121} now then, whatsoever God{H430} hath said{H559} unto thee, do.{H6213}

Then Jacob{H3290} rose up,{H6965} and set{H5375} his sons{H1121} and his wives{H802} upon the camels;{H1581}

and he carried away{H5090} all his cattle,{H4735} and all his substance{H7399} which he had gathered,{H7408} the cattle{H4735} of his getting,{H7075} which he had gathered{H7408} in Paddan-aram,{H6307} to go{H935} to Isaac{H3327} his father{H1} unto the land{H776} of Canaan.{H3667}

Now Laban{H3837} was gone{H1980} to shear{H1494} his sheep:{H6629} and Rachel{H7354} stole{H1589} the teraphim{H8655} that were her father's.{H1}

And Jacob{H3290} stole away{H1589} unawares{H3820} to Laban{H3837} the Syrian,{H761} in that{H5921} he told{H5046} him not{H1097} that he fled.{H1272}

So he fled{H1272} with all that he had; and he rose up,{H6965} and passed over{H5674} the River,{H5104} and set{H7760} his face{H6440} toward the mountain{H2022} of Gilead.{H1568}

And it was told{H5046} Laban{H3837} on the third{H7992} day{H3117} that Jacob{H3290} was fled.{H1272}

And he took{H3947} his brethren{H251} with him, and pursued{H7291} after him{H310} seven{H7651} days'{H3117} journey;{H1870} and he overtook{H1692} him in the mountain{H2022} of Gilead.{H1568}

And God{H430} came{H935} to Laban{H3837} the Syrian{H761} in a dream{H2472} of the night,{H3915} and said{H559} unto him, Take heed{H8104} to thyself that thou speak{H1696} not to{H5973} Jacob{H3290} either good{H2896} or{H5704} bad.{H7451}

And Laban{H3837} came{H5381} up with Jacob.{H3290} Now Jacob{H3290} had pitched{H8628} his tent{H168} in the mountain:{H2022} and Laban{H3837} with his brethren{H251} encamped{H8628} in the mountain{H2022} of Gilead.{H1568}

And Laban{H3837} said{H559} to Jacob,{H3290} What hast thou done,{H6213} that thou hast stolen away{H1589} unawares{H3824} to me, and carried away{H5090} my daughters{H1323} as captives{H7617} of the sword?{H2719}

Wherefore didst thou flee{H1272} secretly,{H2244} and steal away{H1589} from me, and didst not tell{H5046} me, that I might have sent thee away{H7971} with mirth{H8057} and with songs,{H7892} with tabret{H8596} and with harp;{H3658}

and didst not suffer{H5203} me to kiss{H5401} my sons{H1121} and my daughters?{H1323} now hast thou done{H6213} foolishly.{H5528}

It is{H3426} in the power{H410} of my hand{H3027} to do{H6213} you hurt:{H7451} but the God{H430} of your father{H1} spake{H559} unto me yesternight,{H570} saying,{H559} Take heed{H8104} to thyself that thou speak not{H1696} to Jacob{H3290} either good{H2896} or bad.{H7451}

And now, [though] thou wouldest needs{H1980} be gone,{H1980} because thou sore{H3700} longedst{H3700} after thy father's{H1} house,{H1004} [yet] wherefore hast thou stolen{H1589} my gods?{H430}

And Jacob{H3290} answered{H6030} and said{H559} to Laban,{H3837} Because I was afraid:{H3372} for I said,{H559} Lest{H6435} thou shouldest take thy daughters{H1323} from me by force.{H1497}

With whomsoever{H834} thou findest{H4672} thy gods,{H430} he shall not live:{H2421} before{H5048} our brethren{H251} discern{H5234} thou what is thine with me, and take{H3947} it to thee. For Jacob{H3290} knew{H3045} not that Rachel{H7354} had stolen{H1589} them.

And Laban{H3837} went{H935} into Jacob's{H3290} tent,{H168} and into Leah's{H3812} tent,{H168} and into the tent{H168} of the two{H8147} maid-servants;{H519} but he found{H4672} them not. And he went out{H3318} of Leah's{H3812} tent,{H168} and entered{H935} into Rachel's{H7354} tent.{H168}

Now Rachel{H7354} had taken{H3947} the teraphim,{H8655} and put{H7760} them in the camel's{H1581} saddle,{H3733} and sat{H3427} upon them. And Laban{H3837} felt{H4959} about all the tent,{H168} but found{H4672} them not.

And she said{H559} to her father,{H1} Let not my lord{H113} be angry{H2734} that I cannot{H3201} rise up{H6965} before thee;{H6440} for the manner{H1870} of women{H802} is upon me. And he searched,{H2664} but found{H4672} not the teraphim.{H8655}

And Jacob{H3290} was wroth,{H2734} and chode{H7378} with Laban:{H3837} and Jacob{H3290} answered{H6030} and said{H559} to Laban,{H3837} What is my trespass?{H6588} what is my sin,{H2403} that thou hast hotly pursued{H1814} after me?{H310}

Whereas{H3588} thou hast felt{H4959} about all my stuff,{H3627} what hast thou found{H4672} of all thy household{H1004} stuff?{H3627} Set{H7760} it here{H3541} before my brethren{H251} and thy brethren,{H251} that they may judge{H3198} betwixt{H996} us two.{H8147}

These twenty{H6242} years{H8141} have I been with thee; thy ewes{H7353} and thy she-goats{H5795} have not cast their young,{H7921} and the rams{H352} of thy flocks{H6629} have I not eaten.{H398}

That which was torn{H2966} of beasts I brought{H935} not unto thee; I bare the loss{H2398} of it; of my hand{H3027} didst thou require{H1245} it, whether stolen{H1589} by day{H3117} or stolen{H1589} by night.{H3915}

Thus I was; in the day{H3117} the drought{H2721} consumed{H398} me, and the frost{H7140} by night;{H3915} and my sleep{H8142} fled{H5074} from mine eyes.{H5869}

These twenty{H6242} years{H8141} have I been in thy house;{H1004} I served thee{H5647} fourteen{H702} years{H8141} for thy two{H8147} daughters,{H1323} and six{H8337} years{H8141} for thy flock:{H6629} and thou hast changed{H2498} my wages{H4909} ten{H6235} times.{H4489}

Except{H3884} the God{H430} of my father,{H1} the God{H430} of Abraham,{H85} and the Fear{H6343} of Isaac,{H3327} had been with me, surely now hadst thou sent me away{H7971} empty.{H7387} God{H430} hath seen{H7200} mine affliction{H6040} and the labor{H3018} of my hands,{H3709} and rebuked{H3198} thee yesternight.{H570}

And Laban{H3837} answered{H6030} and said{H559} unto Jacob,{H3290} The daughters{H1323} are my daughters,{H1323} and the children{H1121} are my children,{H1121} and the flocks{H6629} are my flocks,{H6629} and all that thou seest{H7200} is mine: and what can I do{H6213} this day{H3117} unto these my daughters,{H1323} or{H176} unto their children{H1121} whom they have borne?{H3205}

And now come,{H3212} let us make{H3772} a covenant,{H1285} I and thou; and let it be for a witness{H5707} between me and thee.

And Jacob{H3290} took{H3947} a stone,{H68} and set it up{H7311} for a pillar.{H4676}

And Jacob{H3290} said{H559} unto his brethren,{H251} Gather{H3950} stones;{H68} and they took{H3947} stones,{H68} and made{H6213} a heap:{H1530} and they did eat{H398} there by the heap.{H1530}

And Laban{H3837} called{H7121} it Jegar-saha-dutha:{H3026} but Jacob{H3290} called{H7121} it Galeed.{H1567}

And Laban{H3837} said,{H559} This heap{H1530} is witness{H5707} between me and thee this day.{H3117} Therefore was the name{H8034} of it called{H7121} Galeed:{H1567}

and Mizpah,{H4709} for{H834} he said,{H559} Jehovah{H3068} watch{H6822} between me and thee, when we are absent{H5641} one{H376} from another.{H7453}

If thou shalt afflict{H6031} my daughters,{H1323} and if thou shalt take{H3947} wives{H802} besides{H5921} my daughters,{H1323} no man{H376} is with us; see,{H7200} God{H430} is witness{H5707} betwixt me and thee.

And Laban{H3837} said{H559} to Jacob,{H3290} Behold this heap,{H1530} and behold the pillar,{H4676} which I have set{H3384} betwixt me and thee.

This heap{H1530} be witness,{H5707} and the pillar{H4676} be witness,{H5713} that I will not pass over{H5674} this heap{H1530} to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over{H5674} this heap{H1530} and this pillar{H4676} unto me, for harm.{H7451}

The God{H430} of Abraham,{H85} and the God{H430} of Nahor,{H5152} the God{H430} of their father,{H1} judge{H8199} betwixt us. And Jacob{H3290} sware{H7650} by the Fear{H6343} of his father{H1} Isaac.{H3327}

And Jacob{H3290} offered{H2076} a sacrifice{H2077} in the mountain,{H2022} and called{H7121} his brethren{H251} to eat{H398} bread:{H3899} and they did eat{H398} bread,{H3899} and tarried all night{H3885} in the mountain.{H2022}

And early{H7925} in the morning{H1242} Laban{H3837} rose up,{H7925} and kissed{H5401} his sons{H1121} and his daughters,{H1323} and blessed{H1288} them: and Laban{H3837} departed,{H3212} and returned{H7725} unto his place.{H4725}
