Genesis 31:17-21

17Then Jacob stood [and took action] and put his children and his wives on camels;

18and he drove away all his livestock and [took along] all his property which he had acquired, the livestock he had obtained and accumulated in Paddan-aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.

19When Laban had gone to shear his sheep, Rachel [went inside the house and] stole her father’s household gods.

20And Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean (Syrian) by not telling him that he intended to leave and he slipped away secretly.

21So he fled with everything that he had, and got up and crossed the river [Euphrates], and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead [east of the Jordan River].
