Genesis 31:17-22 God's Word Translation (GW)

17. Then Jacob put his children and his wives on camels.

19. When Laban went to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s idols.

20. Jacob also tricked Laban the Aramean by not telling him he was leaving.

21. So he left in a hurry with all that belonged to him. He crossed the Euphrates River and went toward the mountains of Gilead.

22. Two days later Laban was told that Jacob had left in a hurry.
