1
And he heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of Laban'sH3837 sons,H1121 saying,H559 JacobH3290 has takenH3947 away allH3605 that was our father's;H1 and of that whichH834 was our father'sH1 has he gottenH6213 allH3605 this glory.H3519
2
And JacobH3290 beheldH7200 the countenanceH6440 of Laban,H3837 and, behold,H2009 it was not toward him as before.H8543
3
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to Jacob,H3290 ReturnH7725 to the landH776 of your fathers,H1 and to your kindred;H4138 and I will be with you.
4
And JacobH3290 sentH7971 and calledH7121 RachelH7354 and LeahH3812 to the fieldH7704 to his flock,H6629
5
And saidH559 to them, I seeH7200 your father'sH1 countenance,H6440 that it is not toward me as before;H8543 H8032 but the GodH430 of my fatherH1 has beenH1961 with me.
6
And you knowH3045 that with allH3605 my powerH3581 I have servedH5647 your father.H1
7
And your fatherH1 has deceivedH2048 me, and changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 times;H4489 but GodH430 sufferedH5414 him not to hurtH7489 me.
8
IfH518 he saidH559 thus,H3541 The speckledH5348 shall be your wages;H7939 then allH3605 the cattleH6629 boreH3205 speckled:H5348 and ifH518 he saidH559 thus,H3541 The ringstrakedH6124 shall be your hire;H7939 then boreH3205 allH3605 the cattleH6629 ringstraked.H6124
9
Thus GodH430 has takenH5337 away the cattleH4735 of your father,H1 and givenH5414 them to me.
10
And it cameH1961 to pass at the timeH6256 that the cattleH6629 conceived,H3179 that I liftedH5375 up my eyes,H5869 and sawH7200 in a dream,H2472 and, behold,H2009 the ramsH6260 which leapedH5927 on the cattleH6629 were ringstraked,H6124 speckled,H5348 and spotted.H1261
11
And the angelH4397 of GodH430 spokeH559 to me in a dream,H2472 saying, Jacob:H3290 And I said,H559 HereH2009 am I.
12
And he said,H559 LiftH5375 up nowH4994 your eyes,H5869 and see,H7200 allH3605 the ramsH6260 which leapH5927 on the cattleH6629 are ringstraked,H6124 speckled,H5348 and spotted:H1261 for I have seenH7200 allH3605 that LabanH3837 doesH6213 to you.
13
I am the GodH410 of Bethel,H1008 whereH834 you anointedH4886 the pillar,H4676 and whereH834 you vowedH5087 a vowH5088 to me: nowH6258 arise,H6965 getH3318 you out from thisH2063 land,H776 and returnH7725 to the landH776 of your kindred.H4138
14
And RachelH7354 and LeahH3812 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to him, Is there yetH5750 any portionH2506 or inheritanceH5159 for us in our father'sH1 house?H1004
15
Are we not countedH2803 of him strangers?H5237 for he has soldH4376 us, and has quite devouredH398 alsoH1571 our money.H3701
16
For allH3605 the richesH6239 whichH834 GodH430 has takenH5337 from our father,H1 that is ours, and our children's:H1121 nowH6258 then, whateverH3605 H834 GodH430 has saidH559 to you, do.H6213
17
Then JacobH3290 roseH6965 up, and setH5375 his sonsH1121 and his wivesH802 on camels;H1581
18
And he carriedH5090 away allH3605 his cattle,H4735 and allH3605 his goodsH7399 whichH834 he had gotten,H7408 the cattleH4735 of his getting,H7075 whichH834 he had gottenH7408 in Padanaram,H6307 for to goH935 to IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 in the landH776 of Canaan.H3667
19
And LabanH3837 wentH1980 to shearH1494 his sheep:H6629 and RachelH7354 had stolenH1589 the imagesH8655 that were her father's.H1
20
And JacobH3290 stoleH1589 away unawaresH3820 H3824 to LabanH3837 the Syrian,H761 in that he toldH5046 him not that he fled.H1272
21
So he fledH1272 with allH3605 that he had; and he roseH6965 up, and passedH5674 overH5674 the river,H5104 and setH7760 his faceH6440 toward the mountH2022 Gilead.H1568
22
And it was toldH5046 LabanH3837 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 that JacobH3290 was fled.H1272
23
And he tookH3947 his brothersH251 with him, and pursuedH7291 afterH310 him sevenH7651 days' H3117journey;H1870 and they overtookH1692 him in the mountH2022 Gilead.H1568
24
And GodH430 cameH935 to LabanH3837 the SyrianH761 in a dreamH2472 by night,H3915 and saidH559 to him, TakeH3947 heedH8104 that you speakH1696 not to JacobH3290 either goodH2896 orH5704 bad.H7451
25
Then LabanH3837 overtookH5381 Jacob.H3290 Now JacobH3290 had pitchedH8628 his tentH168 in the mount:H2022 and LabanH3837 with his brothersH251 pitchedH8628 in the mountH2022 of Gilead.H1568
26
And LabanH3837 saidH559 to Jacob,H3290 WhatH4100 have you done,H6213 that you have stolenH1589 away unawaresH3820 H3824 to me, and carriedH5090 away my daughters,H1323 as captivesH7617 taken with the sword?H2719
27
WhyH4100 did you fleeH1272 away secretly,H2244 and stealH1589 away from me; and did not tellH5046 me, that I might have sentH7971 you away with mirth,H8057 and with songs,H7892 with tabret,H8596 and with harp?H3658
28
And have not sufferedH5203 me to kissH5401 my sonsH1121 and my daughters?H1323 you have nowH6258 done foolishlyH5528 in so doing.H6213
29
It is in the powerH410 of my handH3027 to doH6213 you hurt:H7451 but the GodH430 of your fatherH1 spokeH559 to me last night,H570 saying,H559 TakeH3947 you heedH8104 that you speakH1696 not to JacobH3290 either goodH2896 orH5704 bad.H7451
30
And now,H6258 though you would needs be gone,H1980 becauseH3588 you sore longedH3700 after your father'sH1 house,H1004 yet whyH4100 have you stolenH1589 my gods?H430
31
And JacobH3290 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to Laban,H3837 BecauseH3588 I was afraid:H3372 for I said,H559 PeradventureH6435 you would takeH1497 by forceH1497 your daughtersH1323 from me.
32
With whomsoeverH834 you findH4672 your gods,H430 let him not live:H2421 beforeH5048 our brothersH251 discernH5234 you whatH4100 is your with me, and takeH3947 it to you. For JacobH3290 knewH3045 not that RachelH7354 had stolenH1589 them.
33
And LabanH3837 wentH935 into Jacob'sH3290 tent,H168 and into Leah'sH3812 tent,H168 and into the twoH8147 maidservants' H519tents;H168 but he foundH4672 them not. Then wentH3318 he out of Leah'sH3812 tent,H168 and enteredH935 into Rachel'sH7354 tent.H168
34
Now RachelH7354 had takenH3947 the images,H8655 and putH7760 them in the camel'sH1581 furniture,H3733 and satH3427 on them. And LabanH3837 searchedH4959 allH3605 the tent,H168 but foundH4672 them not.
35
And she saidH559 to her father,H1 Let it not displeaseH2734 my lordH113 that I cannotH3808 H3201 riseH6965 up beforeH6440 you; for the customH1870 of womenH802 is on me. And he searched H2664but foundH4672 not the images.H8655
36
And JacobH3290 was wroth,H2734 and strivedH7378 with Laban:H3837 and JacobH3290 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to Laban,H3837 WhatH4100 is my trespass?H6588 whatH4100 is my sin,H2403 that you have so hotlyH1814 pursuedH1814 afterH310 me?
37
WhereasH3588 you have searchedH4959 allH3605 my stuff,H3627 whatH4100 have you foundH4672 of allH3605 your householdH1004 stuff?H3627 setH7760 it hereH3541 beforeH5048 my brothersH251 and your brothers,H251 that they may judgeH3198 betweenH996 us both.H8147
38
ThisH2088 twentyH6242 yearsH8141 have I been with you; your ewesH7353 and your she goatsH5795 have not castH7921 their young, and the ramsH352 of your flockH6629 have I not eaten.H398
39
That which was tornH2966 of beastsH2966 I broughtH935 not to you; I boreH2398 the lossH2398 of it; of my handH3027 did you requireH1245 it, whether stolenH1589 by day,H3117 or stolenH1589 by night.H3915
40
Thus I was; in the dayH3117 the droughtH2721 consumedH398 me, and the frostH7140 by night;H3915 and my sleepH8142 departedH5074 from my eyes.H5869
41
ThusH2088 have I been twentyH6242 yearsH8141 in your house;H1004 I servedH5647 you fourteenH702 H6240 yearsH8141 for your twoH8147 daughters,H1323 and sixH8337 yearsH8141 for your cattle:H6629 and you have changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 times.H4489
42
ExceptH3884 the GodH430 of my father,H1 the GodH430 of Abraham,H85 and the fearH6343 of Isaac,H3327 had beenH1961 with me, surelyH3588 you had sentH7971 me away nowH6258 empty.H7387 GodH430 has seenH7200 my afflictionH6040 and the laborH3018 of my hands,H3709 and rebukedH3198 you last night.H570
43
And LabanH3837 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to Jacob,H3290 These daughtersH1323 are my daughters,H1323 and these childrenH1121 are my children,H1121 and these cattleH6629 are my cattle,H6629 and allH3605 that you seeH7200 is mine: and whatH4100 can I doH6213 this dayH3117 to theseH428 my daughters,H1323 orH176 to their childrenH1121 whichH834 they have born?H3205
44
NowH6258 therefore comeH3212 you, let us makeH3772 a covenant,H1285 I and you; and let it be for a witnessH5707 betweenH996 me and you.
45
And JacobH3290 tookH3947 a stone,H68 and setH7311 it up for a pillar.H4676
46
And JacobH3290 saidH559 to his brothers,H251 GatherH3950 stones;H68 and they tookH3947 stones,H68 and madeH6213 an heap:H1530 and they did eatH398 thereH8033 on the heap.H1530
47
And LabanH3837 calledH7121 it Jegarsahadutha:H3026 but JacobH3290 calledH7121 it Galeed.H1567
48
And LabanH3837 said,H559 ThisH2088 heapH1530 is a witnessH5707 betweenH996 me and you this day.H3117 ThereforeH5921 H3651 was the nameH8034 of it calledH7121 Galeed;H1567
49
And Mizpah;H4709 for he said,H559 The LORDH3068 watchH6822 betweenH996 me and you, whenH3588 we are absentH5641 oneH376 from another.H7453
50
IfH518 you shall afflictH6031 my daughters,H1323 or ifH518 you shall takeH3947 other wivesH802 besideH5921 my daughters,H1323 noH3808 manH376 is with us; see,H7200 GodH430 is witnessH5707 betweenH996 me and you.
51
And LabanH3837 saidH559 to Jacob,H3290 BeholdH2009 thisH2088 heap,H1530 and beholdH2009 this pillar,H4676 whichH834 I have castH3384 betweenH996 me and you:
52
ThisH2088 heapH1530 be witness,H5707 and this pillarH4676 be witness,H5715 that I will not passH5674 overH5674 thisH2088 heapH1530 to you, and that you shall not passH5674 overH5674 thisH2063 heapH1530 and thisH2063 pillarH4676 to me, for harm.H7451
53
The GodH430 of Abraham,H85 and the GodH430 of Nahor,H5152 the GodH430 of their father,H1 judgeH8199 betweenH996 us. And JacobH3290 sworeH7650 by the fearH6343 of his fatherH1 Isaac.H3327
54
Then JacobH3290 offeredH2076 sacrificeH2077 on the mount,H2022 and calledH7121 his brothersH251 to eatH398 bread:H3899 and they did eatH398 bread,H3899 and tarriedH3885 allH3885 night in the mount.H2022
55
And earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 LabanH3837 roseH7925 up, and kissedH5401 his sonsH1121 and his daughters,H1323 and blessedH1288 them: and LabanH3837 departed,H3212 and returnedH7725 to his place.H4725
