Genesis 31:11-25 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

11. And the Angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Here am I.

12. And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see: all the rams that leap upon the flock are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban does to thee.

13. I am the ·God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vow to me. Now arise, depart out of this land, and return to the land of thy kindred.

14. And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

15. Are we not reckoned of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has even constantly devoured our money.

16. For all the wealth that God has taken from our father is ours and our children's; and now whatever God has said to thee do.

17. And Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels,

18. and carried away all his cattle, and all his property that he had acquired--the cattle of his possessions that he had acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to Isaac his father, into the land of Canaan.

19. And Laban had gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that belonged to her father.

20. And Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled.

21. And he fled with all that he had; and he rose up and passed over the river, and set his face toward mount Gilead.

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

23. And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on mount Gilead.

24. And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

25. And Laban came up with Jacob; and Jacob had pitched his tent on the mountain; Laban also with his brethren pitched on mount Gilead.
