Genesis 31:17-24

17So Jacob put his children and wives on his camels.

18He put together all his animals and everything that he had received in Paddan Aram. He took them with him to go to the land of Canaan. He left to go back to his father Isaac.

19Before they left, Laban had gone to cut the wool from his sheep. While he was away from the house, Rachel took the idols that Laban worshipped in his house.

20Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean. He did not tell Laban that he was going away.

21Jacob went away quickly and he took all his things. He went across the Euphrates river. He went towards the hill country of Gilead.

22After three days, someone told Laban that Jacob had gone away.

23So Laban took his relatives with him and he followed Jacob. After seven days, he found him in the hill country of Gilead.

24Then God appeared to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night. God warned him, ‘Be careful what you say to Jacob. Do not say anything good or bad to him.’
