Genesis 31:19-30
19Now while LabanH3837 was outH1980 shearingH1494 his sheepH6629, RachelH7354 stoleH1589 her father’sH1 household idolsH8655. 20Moreover, JacobH3290 deceivedH1589H38201 LabanH3837 the ArameanH761H5921 by notH1097 tellingH5046 him thatH3588 heH1931 was running awayH1272. 21So heH1931 fledH1272 with allH3605 his possessionsH834, crossedH5674 the EuphratesH5104,2 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.
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?”
