Genesis 31:14-19

14Rachel and Leah said to him, “Do we still have any portion or inheritance in our father’s house? 15Are we not reckoned by him as foreigners? For 1he has sold us, and has also 2entirely consumed 3our purchase price. 16Surely all the wealth which God has taken away from our father belongs to us and our children; now then, do whatever God has said to you.”

17Then Jacob arose and put his children and his wives upon camels; 18and he drove away all his livestock and all his property which he had gathered, his acquired livestock which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, 4to go to the land of Canaan to his father Isaac. 19When Laban had gone to shear his flock, then Rachel stole the 56household idols that were her father’s.
