17. So Jacob got up, put his sons and wives on the camels,
18. and set out with all of his livestock and all of his possessions that he had acquired in Paddan-aram in order to return to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.
19. Now, while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole the household’s divine images that belonged to her father.
20. Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not sending word to him that he was leaving.
21. So Jacob and his entire household left. He got up, crossed the river, and set out directly for the mountains of Gilead.
22. Three days later, Laban found out that Jacob had gone,
23. so Laban took his brothers with him, chased Jacob for seven days, and caught up with him in the mountains of Gilead.
24. That night, God appeared to Laban the Aramean in a dream and said, "Be careful and don’t say anything hastily to Jacob one way or the other."
