Genesis 31:1-5

1Now 1Jacob heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of Laban’sH3837 sonsH1121, sayingH559, “JacobH3290 has takenH3947 away allH3605 that was our father’sH1, and from whatH834 belonged to our fatherH1 he has madeH6213 allH3605 thisH2088 2wealthH3519.”

2And JacobH3290 sawH7200 the 3attitudeH6440 of LabanH3837, and beholdH2009, it was not friendly towardH5973 him as it had been beforeH8543.

3Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to JacobH3290, “4ReturnH7725 to the landH776 of your fathersH1 and to your relativesH4138, and 5I will be with you.”

4So JacobH3290 sentH7971 word and calledH7121 RachelH7354 and LeahH3812 to his flockH6629 in the fieldH7704,

5and saidH559 to them, “6I seeH7200 your father’sH1 7attitudeH6440, that it is not friendly towardH413 me as it was beforeH8543, but 8the GodH430 of my fatherH1 has beenH1961 with me.
