Genesis 31:25-32
25Then LabanH3837 overtookH5381 JacobH3290. Now JacobH3290 had pitchedH8628 his tentH168 in the mountH2022: and LabanH3837 with his brethrenH251 pitchedH8628 in the mountH2022 of GileadH1568. 26And LabanH3837 saidH559 to JacobH3290, What hast thou doneH6213, that thou hast stolen awayH1589 unawaresH3824 to me, and carried awayH5090 my daughtersH1323, as captivesH7617 taken with the swordH2719? 27Wherefore didst thou flee awayH1272 secretlyH2244, and steal awayH1589 from me; and didst not tellH5046 me, that I might have sent thee awayH7971 with mirthH8057, and with songsH7892, with tabretH8596, and with harpH3658?1 28And hast not sufferedH5203 me to kissH5401 my sonsH1121 and my daughtersH1323? thou hast now done foolishlyH5528 in so doingH6213. 29It isH3426 in the powerH410 of my handH3027 to doH6213 you hurtH7451: but the GodH430 of your fatherH1 spakeH559 unto me yesternightH570, sayingH559, Take thou heedH8104 that thou speak notH1696 to JacobH3290 either goodH2896 or badH7451. 30And now, though thou wouldest needsH1980 be goneH1980, because thou soreH3700 longedstH3700 after thy father’sH1 houseH1004, yet wherefore hast thou stolenH1589 my godsH430? 31And JacobH3290 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to LabanH3837, Because I was afraidH3372: for I saidH559, PeradventureH6435 thou wouldest take by forceH1497 thy daughtersH1323 from me. 32With whomsoeverH834 thou findestH4672 thy godsH430, let him not liveH2421: beforeH5048 our brethrenH251 discernH5234 thou what is thine with me, and takeH3947 it to thee. For JacobH3290 knewH3045 not that RachelH7354 had stolenH1589 them.
