Genesis 31:21-25

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 1Gilead.

22When it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled, 23then he took his 2kinsmen with him and pursued him a distance of seven days’ journey, and he overtook him in the hill country of Gilead. 24 3God came to Laban the Aramean in a 4dream of the night and said to him, “5 6Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad.”

25Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his 7kinsmen camped in the hill country of Gilead.
