Genesis 31:17-21

17Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; 18And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan–aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan. 19And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father’s.1 20And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.2 21So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
