Genesis 31:17-24
17Then JacobH3290 stoodH6965 upH6965 and putH5375 his childrenH1121 and his wivesH802 on camelsH1581; 18and he droveH5090 awayH5090 allH3605 his livestockH4735 and allH3605 his propertyH7399 whichH834 he had acquiredH7408, the livestockH4735 he possessedH7075 whichH834 he had acquiredH7408 in Paddan-aramH6307, 1to goH935 to the landH776 of CanaanH3667 to his fatherH1 IsaacH3327. 19LabanH3837 had goneH1980 to shearH1494 his flockH6629, and RachelH7354 stoleH1589 the 23householdH8655 idolsH8655 that were her father’sH1. 20And JacobH3290 4deceivedH1589 LabanH3837 the ArameanH761 by not tellingH5046 him that he was fleeingH1272. 21So he fledH1272 with allH3605 that he had; and he gotH6965 upH6965 and crossedH5674 the Euphrates RiverH5104, and setH7760 5out for the hillH2022 countryH2022 of 6GileadH1568.
22When LabanH3837 was informedH5046 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 that JacobH3290 had fledH1272, 23he tookH3947 his kinsmenH251 with him and pursuedH7291 him a distance of sevenH7651 days’H3117 journeyH1870, and he overtookH1692 him in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of GileadH1568. 24However, 7GodH430 cameH935 to LabanH3837 the ArameanH761 in a 8dreamH2472 of the nightH3915 and saidH559 to him, “910BeH8104 carefulH8104 that you do not speakH1696 to JacobH3290 eitherH4480 goodH2896 orH5704 badH7451.”
