Genesis 31:14-20

14Rachel and Leah said to him, “Do we still have any share or inheritance in our father’s house? 15Are we not regarded by him as foreigners? For 1he has sold us, and has also 2entirely consumed our 3purchase 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 told you.”

17Then Jacob stood up and put his children and his wives on camels; 18and he drove away all his livestock and all his property which he had acquired, the livestock he possessed which he had acquired in Paddan-aram, 4to go to the land of Canaan to his father Isaac. 19Laban had gone to shear his flock, and Rachel stole the 56household idols that were her father’s. 20And Jacob 7deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was fleeing.
