01:031:014 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet
any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
01:031:015 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and
hath quite devoured also our money.
01:031:016 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.
01:031:017 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon
camels;
01:031:018 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.
01:031:019 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the
images that were her father's.
01:031:020 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he
told him not that he fled.
01:031:021 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.
01:031:022 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
01:031:023 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him
seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
01:031:024 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and
said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or
bad.
01:031:025 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in
the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
01:031:026 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast
stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives
taken with the sword?
01:031:027 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from
me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth,
and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
01:031:028 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters?
thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
01:031:029 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 that thou
speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
01:031:030 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou
sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen
my gods?
01:031:031 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid:
for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from
me.
01:031:032 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.
01:031:033 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.
01:031:034 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's
furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found
them not.
