1And he heardthe wordsof Laban'ssons,saying,Jacobhath taken awayall that [was] our father's;and of [that] which [was] our father'shath he gottenall this glory.2And Jacobbeheldthe countenanceof Laban,and, behold, it [was] not toward him asbefore.3And the LORDsaidunto Jacob,Returnunto the landof thy fathers,and to thy kindred;and I will be with thee.4And Jacobsentand calledRacheland Leahto the fieldunto his flock,5And saidunto them, I seeyour father'scountenance,that it [is] not toward me asbefore;but the Godof my fatherhath beenwith me.6And yeknowthat with all my powerI have servedyour father.7And your fatherhath deceivedme, and changedmy wagestentimes;but Godsuffered himnot to hurtme.8If he saidthus, The speckledshall be thy wages;then all the cattlebarespeckled:and if he saidthus, The ringstrakedshall be thy hire;then bareall the cattleringstraked.9Thus Godhath taken awaythe cattleof your father,and given[them] to me.10And it came to pass at the timethat the cattleconceived,that I lifted upmine eyes,and sawin a dream,and, behold, the ramswhich leapedupon the cattle[were] ringstraked,speckled,and grisled.11And the angelof Godspakeunto me in a dream,[saying], Jacob:And I said,Here [am] I.12And he said,Lift upnow thine eyes,and see,all the ramswhich leapupon the cattle[are] ringstraked,speckled,and grisled:for I have seenall that Labandoethunto thee.13I [am] the Godof Bethel,where thou anointedstthe pillar,[and] where thou vowedsta vowunto me: now arise,get thee outfrom this land,and returnunto the landof thy kindred.14And Racheland Leahansweredand saidunto him, [Is there] yet any portionor inheritancefor us in our father'shouse?15Are we not countedof him strangers?for he hath soldus, and hath quitedevouredalso our money.16For all the richeswhich Godhath takenfrom our father,that [is] ours, and our children's:now then, whatsoever Godhath saidunto thee, do.

17Then Jacobrose up,and sethis sonsand his wivesupon camels;18And he carried awayall his cattle,and all his goodswhich he had gotten,the cattleof his getting,which he had gottenin Padanaram,for to goto Isaachis fatherin the landof Canaan.19And Labanwentto shearhis sheep:and Rachelhad stolenthe imagesthat [were] her father's.20And Jacobstole awayunawaresto Labanthe Syrian,in thathe toldhim notthat he fled.21So he fledwith all that he had; and he rose up,and passed overthe river,and sethis face[toward] the mountGilead.

Laban Pursues Jacob

22And it was toldLabanon the thirddaythat Jacobwas fled.23And he tookhis brethrenwith him, and pursuedafter himsevendays'journey;and they overtookhim in the mountGilead.24And Godcameto Labanthe Syrianin a dreamby night,and saidunto him, Take heedthat thou speaknot toJacobeither goodorbad.

25Then LabanovertookJacob.Now Jacobhad pitchedhis tentin the mount:and Labanwith his brethrenpitchedin the mountof Gilead.26And Labansaidto Jacob,What hast thou done,that thou hast stolen awayunawaresto me, and carried awaymy daughters,as captives[taken] with the sword?27Wherefore didst thou flee awaysecretly,and steal awayfrom me; and didst not tellme, that I might have sent thee awaywith mirth,and with songs,with tabret,and with harp?28And hast not sufferedme to kissmy sonsand my daughters?thou hast now done foolishlyin [so] doing.29It isin the powerof my handto doyou hurt:but the Godof your fatherspakeunto me yesternight,saying,Take thou heedthat thou speak notto Jacobeither goodor bad.30And now, [though] thou wouldest needsbe gone,because thou sorelongedstafter thy father'shouse,[yet] wherefore hast thou stolenmy gods?31And Jacobansweredand saidto Laban,Because I was afraid:for I said,Peradventurethou wouldest take by forcethy daughtersfrom me.32With whomsoeverthou findestthy gods,let him not live:beforeour brethrendiscernthou what [is] thine with me, and take[it] to thee. For Jacobknewnot that Rachelhad stolenthem.

33And Labanwentinto Jacob'stent,and into Leah'stent,and into the twomaidservants'tents;but he found[them] not. Then went he outof Leah'stent,and enteredinto Rachel'stent.34Now Rachelhad takenthe images,and putthem in the camel'sfurniture,and satupon them. And Labansearchedall the tent,but found[them] not.35And she saidto her father,Let it not displeasemy lordthat I cannotrise upbefore thee;for the customof women[is] upon me. And he searched,but foundnot the images.

36And Jacobwas wroth,and chodewith Laban:and Jacobansweredand saidto Laban,What [is] my trespass?what [is] my sin,that thou hast so hotly pursuedafter me?37Whereasthou hast searchedall my stuff,what hast thou foundof all thy householdstuff?set[it] herebefore my brethrenand thy brethren,that they may judgebetwixtus both.38This twentyyears[have] I [been] with thee; thy ewesand thy she goatshave not cast their young,and the ramsof thy flockhave I not eaten.39That which was torn[of beasts] I broughtnot unto thee; I bare the lossof it; of my handdidst thou requireit, [whether] stolenby day,or stolenby night.40[Thus] I was; in the daythe droughtconsumedme, and the frostby night;and my sleepdepartedfrom mine eyes.41Thus have I been twentyyearsin thy house;I served theefourteenyearsfor thy twodaughters,and sixyearsfor thy cattle:and thou hast changedmy wagestentimes.42Exceptthe Godof my father,the Godof Abraham,and the fearof Isaac,had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me awaynow empty.Godhath seenmine afflictionand the labourof my hands,and rebuked[thee] yesternight.

Jacob's Covenant with Laban

43And Labanansweredand saidunto Jacob,[These] daughters[are] my daughters,and [these] children[are] my children,and [these] cattle[are] my cattle,and all that thou seest[is] mine: and what can I dothis dayunto these my daughters,orunto their childrenwhich they have born?44Now therefore come thou,let us makea covenant,I and thou; and let it be for a witnessbetween me and thee.45And Jacobtooka stone,and set it up[for] a pillar.46And Jacobsaidunto his brethren,Gatherstones;and they tookstones,and madean heap:and they did eatthere upon the heap.47And Labancalledit Jegarsahadutha:but Jacobcalledit Galeed.48And Labansaid,This heap[is] a witnessbetween me and thee this day.Therefore was the nameof it calledGaleed;49And Mizpah;forhe said,The LORDwatchbetween me and thee, when we are absentonefrom another.50If thou shalt afflictmy daughters,or if thou shalt take[other] wivesbesidemy daughters,no man[is] with us; see,God[is] witnessbetwixt me and thee.51And Labansaidto Jacob,Behold this heap,and behold [this] pillar,which I have castbetwixt me and thee;52This heap[be] witness,and [this] pillar[be] witness,that I will not pass overthis heapto thee, and that thou shalt not pass overthis heapand this pillarunto me, for harm.53The Godof Abraham,and the Godof Nahor,the Godof their father,judgebetwixt us. And Jacobswareby the fearof his fatherIsaac.54Then Jacobofferedsacrificeupon the mount,and calledhis brethrento eatbread:and they did eatbread,and tarried all nightin the mount.55And earlyin the morningLabanrose up,and kissedhis sonsand his daughters,and blessedthem: and Labandeparted,and returnedunto his place.
