New Living Translation
Genesis 31:14-20
14Rachel and Leah responded, “That’s fine with us! We won’t inherit any of our father’s wealth anyway.
15He has reduced our rights to those of foreign women. And after he sold us, he wasted the money you paid him for us.
16All the wealth God has given you from our father legally belongs to us and our children. So go ahead and do whatever God has told you.”
17So Jacob put his wives and children on camels,
18and he drove all his livestock in front of him. He packed all the belongings he had acquired in Paddan-aram and set out for the land of Canaan, where his father, Isaac, lived.
19At the time they left, Laban was some distance away, shearing his sheep. Rachel stole her father’s household idols and took them with her.
20Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean, for they set out secretly and never told Laban they were leaving.
