1 And he heard <08085> (8799) the words <01697> of Laban#s <03837> sons <01121>, saying <0559> (8800), Jacob <03290> hath taken away <03947> (8804) all that was our father#s <01>; and of that which was our father#s <01> hath he gotten <06213> (8804) all this glory <03519>.
2 And Jacob <03290> beheld <07200> (8799) the countenance <06440> of Laban <03837>, and, behold, it was not toward him as <08543> before <08032>.
3 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Jacob <03290>, Return <07725> (8798) unto the land <0776> of thy fathers <01>, and to thy kindred <04138>; and I will be with thee.
4 And Jacob <03290> sent <07971> (8799) and called <07121> (8799) Rachel <07354> and Leah <03812> to the field <07704> unto his flock <06629>,
5 And said <0559> (8799) unto them, I see <07200> (8802) your father#s <01> countenance <06440>, that it is not toward me as <08543> before <08032>; but the God <0430> of my father <01> hath been <01961> (8804) with me.
6 And ye <0859> know <03045> (8804) that with all my power <03581> I have served <05647> (8804) your father <01>.
7 And your father <01> hath deceived <02048> (8765) me, and changed <02498> (8689) my wages <04909> ten <06235> times <04489>; but God <0430> suffered him <05414> (8804) not to hurt <07489> (8687) me <05978> .
8 If he said <0559> (8799) thus, The speckled <05348> shall be thy wages <07939>; then all the cattle <06629> bare <03205> (8804) speckled <05348>: and if he said <0559> (8799) thus, The ringstraked <06124> shall be thy hire <07939> ; then bare <03205> (8804) all the cattle <06629> ringstraked <06124>.
9 Thus God <0430> hath taken away <05337> (8686) the cattle <04735> of your father <01>, and given <05414> (8799) them to me.
10 And it came to pass at the time <06256> that the cattle <06629> conceived <03179> (8763), that I lifted up <05375> (8799) mine eyes <05869>, and saw <07200> (8799) in a dream <02472>, and, behold, the rams <06260> which leaped <05927> (8802) upon the cattle <06629> were ringstraked <06124>, speckled <05348>, and grisled <01261>.
11 And the angel <04397> of God <0430> spake <0559> (8799) unto me in a dream <02472>, saying, Jacob <03290>: And I said <0559> (8799), Here am I.

12 And he said <0559> (8799), Lift up <05375> (8798) now thine eyes <05869>, and see <07200> (8798), all the rams <06260> which leap <05927> (8802) upon the cattle <06629> are ringstraked <06124>, speckled <05348> , and grisled <01261>: for I have seen <07200> (8804) all that Laban <03837> doeth <06213> (8802) unto thee.
13 I am the God <0410> of Bethel <01008>, where thou anointedst <04886> (8804) the pillar <04676>, and where thou vowedst <05087> (8804) a vow <05088> unto me: now arise <06965> (8798), get thee out <03318> (8798) from this land <0776>, and return <07725> (8798) unto the land <0776> of thy kindred <04138>.
14 And Rachel <07354> and Leah <03812> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Is there yet any portion <02506> or inheritance <05159> for us in our father#s <01> house <01004>?
15 Are we not counted <02803> (8738) of him strangers <05237>? for he hath sold <04376> (8804) us, and hath quite <0398> (8800) devoured <0398> (8799) also our money <03701>.
16 For all the riches <06239> which God <0430> hath taken <05337> (8689) from our father <01>, that is ours, and our children#s <01121>: now then, whatsoever God <0430> hath said <0559> (8804) unto thee, do <06213> (8798).
17 Then Jacob <03290> rose up <06965> (8799), and set <05375> (8799) his sons <01121> and his wives <0802> upon camels <01581>;
18 And he carried away <05090> (8799) all his cattle <04735>, and all his goods <07399> which he had gotten <07408> (8804), the cattle <04735> of his getting <07075>, which he had gotten <07408> (8804) in Padanaram <06307>, for to go <0935> (8800) to Isaac <03327> his father <01> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.
19 And Laban <03837> went <01980> (8804) to shear <01494> (8800) his sheep <06629>: and Rachel <07354> had stolen <01589> (8799) the images <08655> that were her father#s <01>.
20 And Jacob <03290> stole away <01589> (8799) unawares <03820> to Laban <03837> the Syrian <0761>, in that <05921> he told <05046> (8689) him not <01097> that he fled <01272> (8802).
21 So he fled <01272> (8799) with all that he had; and he rose up <06965> (8799), and passed over <05674> (8799) the river <05104>, and set <07760> (8799) his face <06440> toward the mount <02022> Gilead <01568>.
22 And it was told <05046> (8714) Laban <03837> on the third <07992> day <03117> that Jacob <03290> was fled <01272> (8804).
23 And he took <03947> (8799) his brethren <0251> with him, and pursued <07291> (8799) after him <0310> seven <07651> days <03117># journey <01870>; and they overtook <01692> (8686) him in the mount <02022> Gilead <01568> .
24 And God <0430> came <0935> (8799) to Laban <03837> the Syrian <0761> in a dream <02472> by night <03915>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Take heed <08104> (8734) that thou speak <01696> (8762) not to <05973> Jacob <03290> either good <02896> or <05704> bad <07451>.
25 Then Laban <03837> overtook <05381> (8686) Jacob <03290>. Now Jacob <03290> had pitched <08628> (8804) his tent <0168> in the mount <02022>: and Laban <03837> with his brethren <0251> pitched <08628> (8804) in the mount <02022> of Gilead <01568>.
26 And Laban <03837> said <0559> (8799) to Jacob <03290>, What hast thou done <06213> (8804), that thou hast stolen away <01589> (8799) unawares <03824> to me, and carried away <05090> (8762) my daughters <01323>, as captives <07617> (8803) taken with the sword <02719>?
27 Wherefore didst thou flee away <01272> (8800) secretly <02244> (8738), and steal away <01589> (8799) from me; and didst not tell <05046> (8689) me, that I might have sent thee away <07971> (8762) with mirth <08057>, and with songs <07892>, with tabret <08596>, and with harp <03658>?
28 And hast not suffered <05203> (8804) me to kiss <05401> (8763) my sons <01121> and my daughters <01323> ? thou hast now done foolishly <05528> (8689) in so doing <06213> (8800).
29 It is <03426> in the power <0410> of my hand <03027> to do <06213> (8800) you hurt <07451>: but the God <0430> of your father <01> spake <0559> (8804) unto me yesternight <0570>, saying <0559> (8800), Take thou heed <08104> (8734) that thou speak not <01696> (8763) to Jacob <03290> either good <02896> or bad <07451>.
30 And now, though thou wouldest needs <01980> (8800) be gone <01980> (8804), because thou sore <03700> (8736) longedst <03700> (8738) after thy father#s <01> house <01004>, yet wherefore hast thou stolen <01589> (8804) my gods <0430>?
31 And Jacob <03290> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) to Laban <03837>, Because I was afraid <03372> (8804): for I said <0559> (8804), Peradventure <06435> thou wouldest take by force <01497> (8799) thy daughters <01323> from me.
32 With whomsoever <0834> thou findest <04672> (8799) thy gods <0430>, let him not live <02421> (8799) : before <05048> our brethren <0251> discern <05234> (8685) thou what is thine with me, and take <03947> (8798) it to thee. For Jacob <03290> knew <03045> (8804) not that Rachel <07354> had stolen <01589> (8804) them.
33 And Laban <03837> went <0935> (8799) into Jacob#s <03290> tent <0168>, and into Leah#s <03812> tent <0168>, and into the two <08147> maidservants <0519># tents <0168>; but he found <04672> (8804) them not. Then went he out <03318> (8799) of Leah#s <03812> tent <0168>, and entered <0935> (8799) into Rachel#s <07354> tent <0168>.
34 Now Rachel <07354> had taken <03947> (8804) the images <08655>, and put <07760> (8799) them in the camel#s <01581> furniture <03733>, and sat <03427> (8799) upon them. And Laban <03837> searched <04959> (8762) all the tent <0168>, but found <04672> (8804) them not.
35 And she said <0559> (8799) to her father <01>, Let it not displease <02734> (8799) <05869> my lord <0113> that I cannot <03201> (8799) rise up <06965> (8800) before thee <06440>; for the custom <01870> of women <0802> is upon me. And he searched <02664> (8762), but found <04672> (8804) not the images <08655>.
36 And Jacob <03290> was wroth <02734> (8799), and chode <07378> (8799) with Laban <03837>: and Jacob <03290> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) to Laban <03837>, What is my trespass <06588>? what is my sin <02403>, that thou hast so hotly pursued <01814> (8804) after me <0310>?
37 Whereas <03588> thou hast searched <04959> (8765) all my stuff <03627>, what hast thou found <04672> (8804) of all thy household <01004> stuff <03627>? set <07760> (8798) it here <03541> before my brethren <0251> and thy brethren <0251>, that they may judge <03198> (8686) betwixt <0996> us both <08147>.
38 This twenty <06242> years <08141> have I been with thee; thy ewes <07353> and thy she goats <05795> have not cast their young <07921> (8765), and the rams <0352> of thy flock <06629> have I not eaten <0398> (8804).
39 That which was torn <02966> of beasts I brought <0935> (8689) not unto thee; I bare the loss <02398> (8762) of it; of my hand <03027> didst thou require <01245> (8762) it, whether stolen <01589> (8803) by day <03117>, or stolen <01589> (8803) by night <03915>.
40 Thus I was; in the day <03117> the drought <02721> consumed <0398> (8804) me, and the frost <07140> by night <03915>; and my sleep <08142> departed <05074> (8799) from mine eyes <05869>.
41 Thus have I been twenty <06242> years <08141> in thy house <01004>; I served thee <05647> (8804) fourteen <0702> <06240> years <08141> for thy two <08147> daughters <01323>, and six <08337> years <08141> for thy cattle <06629>: and thou hast changed <02498> (8686) my wages <04909> ten <06235> times <04489>.
42 Except <03884> the God <0430> of my father <01>, the God <0430> of Abraham <085>, and the fear <06343> of Isaac <03327>, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away <07971> (8765) now empty <07387>. God <0430> hath seen <07200> (8804) mine affliction <06040> and the labour <03018> of my hands <03709>, and rebuked <03198> (8686) thee yesternight <0570>.
43 And Laban <03837> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) unto Jacob <03290>, These daughters <01323> are my daughters <01323>, and these children <01121> are my children <01121>, and these cattle <06629> are my cattle <06629>, and all that thou seest <07200> (8802) is mine: and what can I do <06213> (8799) this day <03117> unto these my daughters <01323>, or <0176> unto their children <01121> which they have born <03205> (8804)?
44 Now therefore come thou <03212> (8798), let us make <03772> (8799) a covenant <01285>, I and thou; and let it be for a witness <05707> between me and thee.
45 And Jacob <03290> took <03947> (8799) a stone <068>, and set it up <07311> (8686) for a pillar <04676>.
46 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> (8799) unto his brethren <0251>, Gather <03950> (8798) stones <068>; and they took <03947> (8799) stones <068>, and made <06213> (8799) an heap <01530>: and they did eat <0398> (8799) there upon the heap <01530>.
47 And Laban <03837> called <07121> (8799) it Jegarsahadutha <03026>: but Jacob <03290> called <07121> (8804) it Galeed <01567>.
48 And Laban <03837> said <0559> (8799), This heap <01530> is a witness <05707> between me and thee this day <03117>. Therefore was the name <08034> of it called <07121> (8804) Galeed <01567>;
49 And Mizpah <04709>; for <0834> he said <0559> (8804), The LORD <03068> watch <06822> (8799) between me and thee, when we are absent <05641> (8735) one <0376> from another <07453>.
50 If thou shalt afflict <06031> (8762) my daughters <01323>, or if thou shalt take <03947> (8799) other wives <0802> beside <05921> my daughters <01323>, no man <0376> is with us; see <07200> (8798), God <0430> is witness <05707> betwixt me and thee.
51 And Laban <03837> said <0559> (8799) to Jacob <03290>, Behold this heap <01530>, and behold this pillar <04676>, which I have cast <03384> (8804) betwixt me and thee;
52 This heap <01530> be witness <05707>, and this pillar <04676> be witness <05713>, that I will not pass over <05674> (8799) this heap <01530> to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over <05674> (8799) this heap <01530> and this pillar <04676> unto me, for harm <07451>.
53 The God <0430> of Abraham <085>, and the God <0430> of Nahor <05152>, the God <0430> of their father <01> , judge <08199> (8799) betwixt us. And Jacob <03290> sware <07650> (8735) by the fear <06343> of his father <01> Isaac <03327>.
54 Then Jacob <03290> offered <02076> (8799) sacrifice <02077> upon the mount <02022>, and called <07121> (8799) his brethren <0251> to eat <0398> (8800) bread <03899>: and they did eat <0398> (8799) bread <03899> , and tarried all night <03885> (8799) in the mount <02022>.
55 And early <07925> <00> in the morning <01242> Laban <03837> rose up <07925> (8686), and kissed <05401> (8762) his sons <01121> and his daughters <01323>, and blessed <01288> (8762) them: and Laban <03837> departed <03212> (8799), and returned <07725> (8799) unto his place <04725>.
