Genesis 31:14-20

14Then Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, “Is there still any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?

15Are we not considered strangers by him? For he has sold us, and also completely consumed our money.

16For all these riches which God has taken from our father are really ours and our children’s; now then, whatever God has said to you, do it.”

17Then Jacob rose and set his sons and his wives on camels.

18And he carried away all his livestock and all his possessions which he had gained, his acquired livestock which he had gained in Padan Aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.

19Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel had stolen the household idols that were her father’s.

20And Jacob stole away, unknown to Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he intended to flee.
