Genesis 31:20-24

20And Jacob 1deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was fleeing. 21So he fled with all that he had; and he arose and crossed the Euphrates River, and set his face toward the hill country of 2Gilead.

22When it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled, 23then he took his 3kinsmen with him and pursued him a distance of seven days’ journey, and he overtook him in the hill country of Gilead. 244God came to Laban the Aramean in a 5dream of the night and said to him, “67Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad.”
