And he heard
the words
of Laban's
sons,
saying,
Jacob
hath taken away
all that was our father's;
and of that which was our father's
hath he gotten
all this glory.

And Jacob
beheld
the countenance
of Laban,
and, behold, it was not toward him as
before.
And the LORD
said
unto Jacob,
Return
unto the land
of thy fathers,
and to thy kindred;
and I will be with thee.
And Jacob
sent
and called
Rachel
and Leah
to the field
unto his flock,
And said
unto them, I see
your father's
countenance,
that it is not toward me as
before;
but the God
of my father
hath been
with me.

And ye
know
that with all my power
I have served
your father.
And your father

me, and changed

ten
times;
but God
suffered him
not to hurt
me.
If he said
thus, The speckled
shall be thy wages;
then all the cattle

and if he said
thus, The ringstraked
shall be thy hire;

all the cattle

Thus God

And it came to pass at the time

were ringstraked,

And Rachel
and Leah
answered
and said
unto him, Is there yet any portion
or inheritance
for us in our father's
house?
Are we not counted
of him strangers?
for he hath sold
us, and hath quite
devoured
also our money.
For all the riches
which God
hath taken
from our father,
that is ours, and our children's:
now then, whatsoever God
hath said
unto thee, do.
Then Jacob
rose up,
and set
his sons
and his wives
upon camels;
And he carried away
all his cattle,
and all his goods
which he had gotten,
the cattle
of his getting,
which he had gotten
in Padanaram,
for to go
to Isaac
his father
in the land
of Canaan.

And Laban
went
to shear
his sheep:
and Rachel
had stolen
the images
that were her father's.
And Jacob
stole away
unawares
to Laban
the Syrian,
in that
he told
him not
that he fled.
So he fled
with all that he had; and he rose up,
and passed over
the river,
and set
his face
toward the mount
Gilead.
And it was told
Laban
on the third
day
that Jacob
was fled.
And he took
his brethren
with him, and pursued
after him
seven
days'
journey;
and they overtook
him in the mount
Gilead.

And God

unto him, Take heed

Then Laban
overtook
Jacob.
Now Jacob
had pitched

in the mount:
and Laban
with his brethren
pitched
in the mount

Wherefore didst thou flee away
secretly,

from me; and didst not tell
me, that I might have sent thee away
with mirth,
and with songs,
with tabret,
and with harp?
And hast not suffered
me to kiss
my sons
and my daughters?
thou hast now done foolishly
in so doing.
It is
in the power
of my hand
to do
you hurt:
but the God
of your father
spake
unto me yesternight,
saying,
Take thou heed

And now, though thou wouldest needs
be gone,
because thou sore
longedst
after thy father's
house,
yet wherefore hast thou stolen
my gods?
And Jacob
answered
and said
to Laban,
Because I was afraid:
for I said,
Peradventure
thou wouldest take by force
thy daughters
from me.
With whomsoever
thou findest
thy gods,
let him not live:
before
our brethren
discern
thou what is thine with me, and take
it to thee. For Jacob
knew
not that Rachel
had stolen
them.
say
And Laban
went
into Jacob's
tent,
and into Leah's
tent,
and into the two
maidservants'
tents;
but he found
them not. Then went he out
of Leah's
tent,
and entered
into Rachel's
tent.

Now Rachel

And she said
to her father,
Let it not displease

not the images.

That which was torn

Thus I was; in the day

Thus have I been twenty

Except

God

And Laban
answered
and said
unto Jacob,
These daughters

and these cattle
are my cattle,
and all that thou seest
is mine: and what can I do

And Mizpah;
for
he said,
The LORD
watch
between me and thee, when we are absent
one
from another.
If thou shalt afflict
my daughters,
or if thou shalt take
other wives
beside
my daughters,
no man
is with us; see,
God
is witness
betwixt me and thee.
And Laban
said
to Jacob,
Behold this heap,
and behold this pillar,
which I have cast
betwixt me and thee;
This heap
be witness,
and this pillar
be witness,
that I will not pass over
this heap
to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over
this heap
and this pillar
unto me, for harm.
The God

the God

judge

sware

Then Jacob
offered
sacrifice
upon the mount,

his brethren
to eat
bread:
and they did eat
bread,

in the mount.
And early
in the morning
Laban

and blessed
them: and Laban
departed,
and returned
unto his place.
