Genesis 31:14-19

14Rachel and Leah answered him, “Is there anything left in our father’s household for us to inherit?

15Doesn’t he think of us as foreigners? Not only did he sell us, but he has used up the money that was paid for us.

16Certainly, all the wealth that God took away from our father belongs to us and our children. Now do whatever God has told you.”

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

18He drove all his livestock ahead of him and took all the possessions that he had accumulated. He took his own livestock that he had accumulated in Paddan Aram and went back to his father Isaac in Canaan.

19When Laban went to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s idols.
