New Testament

Genesis 31:15-22 Amplified Bible (AMP)

15. Are we not counted by him as strangers? For he sold us and has also quite devoured our money [the price you paid for us].

16. For all the riches which God has taken from our father are ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do it.

17. Then Jacob rose up and set his sons and his wives upon the camels;

18. And he drove away all his livestock and all his gain which he had gotten, the livestock he had obtained and accumulated in Padan-aram, to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.

19. Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep [possibly to the feast of sheepshearing], and Rachel stole her father's household gods.

20. And Jacob outwitted Laban the Syrian [Aramean] in that he did not tell him that he [intended] to flee and slip away secretly.

21. So he fled with all that he had, and arose and crossed the river [Euphrates] and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead.

22. But on the third day Laban was told that Jacob had fled.
