Genesis 31:17-35

17Then JacobH3290 got upH6965 and putH5375 his childrenH1121 and his wivesH802 onH5921 camelsH1581, 18and he droveH5090 allH3605 his livestock before himH4735, along with allH3605 the possessionsH7399 he had acquiredH7408 in Paddan-aramH758,1 to goH935 toH413 his fatherH1 IsaacH3327 in the landH776 in CanaanH3667.

19Now while LabanH3837 was outH1980 shearingH1494 his sheepH6629, RachelH7354 stoleH1589 her father’sH1 household idolsH8655. 20Moreover, JacobH3290 deceivedH1589H38202 LabanH3837 the ArameanH761H5921 by notH1097 tellingH5046 him thatH3588 heH1931 was running awayH1272. 21So heH1931 fledH1272 with allH3605 his possessionsH834, crossedH5674 the EuphratesH5104,3 and headed forH7760 the hill countryH2022 of GileadH1568.

22On the thirdH7992 dayH3117 LabanH3837 was informedH5046 thatH3588 JacobH3290 had fledH1272. 23So he tookH3947 his relativesH251 with himH5973, pursuedH7291 JacobH310H1870 for sevenH7651 daysH3117, and overtookH1692 himH853 in the hill countryH2022 of GileadH1568. 24But that nightH3915 GodH430 cameH935 toH413 LabanH3837 the ArameanH761 in a dreamH2472 and warnedH559 him, “Be carefulH8104 notH6435 to sayH1696 anything toH5973 JacobH3290, either goodH2896 orH5704 badH7451.”

25Now JacobH3290 had pitchedH8628 his tentH168 in the hill countryH2022 of GileadH1568 when LabanH3837 overtookH5381 him, and LabanH3837 and his relativesH251 campedH8628H854 there as well. 26Then LabanH3837 saidH559 to JacobH3290, “WhatH4100 have you doneH6213? You have deceivedH1589 meH853H3824 and carried off my daughtersH1323H5090 like captivesH7617 of warH2719! 27WhyH4100 did you run awayH1272 secretlyH2244 and deceiveH1589 meH853, without evenH3808 tellingH5046 me? I would have sent you awayH7971 with joyH8057 and singingH7892, with tambourinesH8596 and harpsH3658. 28But you did notH3808 even let meH5203 kissH5401 my grandchildrenH1121 and my daughters goodbyeH1323. NowH6258 you have doneH6213 a foolish thingH5528.

29

I have power to doH6213H410H3027 youH5973 great harmH7451, but last nightH570 the GodH430 of your fatherH1 saidH559 to meH413H559, ‘Be carefulH8104 not to sayH1696 anything toH5973 JacobH3290, either goodH2896 orH5704 badH7451.’ 30NowH6258 you have gone offH1980 becauseH3588 you longH3700 for your father’sH1 houseH1004. But whyH4100 have you stolenH1589 my godsH430?”

31“I was afraidH3588H3372,” JacobH3290 answeredH6030, “forH3588H559H6435 I thoughtH559 you would take your daughtersH1323 from meH5973 by forceH1497. 32If you findH4672 your godsH430 withH5973 anyone hereH834, he shall notH3808 liveH2421! In the presence ofH5048 our relativesH251, seeH5234 for yourself if anythingH4100 is yoursH5978, and takeH3947 it back.” For JacobH3290 did notH3808 knowH3045 thatH3588 RachelH7354 had stolenH1589 the idols.

33So LabanH3837 wentH935 into Jacob’sH3290 tentH168, then Leah’sH3812 tentH168, and then the tentsH168 of the twoH8147 maidservantsH519, but he foundH4672 nothingH3808. Then he leftH3318 Leah’sH3812 tentH168 and enteredH935 Rachel’sH7354 tentH168. 34Now RachelH7354 had takenH3947 Laban’s household idolsH8655, put themH7760 in the saddlebagH3733 of her camelH1581, and was sittingH3427 on themH5921. And LabanH3837 searchedH4959 everythingH3605 in the tentH168 but foundH4672 nothingH3808.

35Rachel saidH559 toH413 her fatherH1, “SirH113, do notH408 be angryH2734H5869 thatH3588 I cannotH3808H3201 stand upH6965 before youH6440; forH3588 I am having my periodH1870H802.” So Laban searchedH2664 but could notH3808 findH4672 the household idolsH8655.
