17. Then Jacob rose up and set his sons and his wives upon the camels;
18. and he carried away all his livestock and all his goods which he had gotten, the livestock of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, to return unto Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
19. And Laban had gone to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole the idols of her father.
20. And Jacob stole away the heart of Laban the Aramean, in that he did not tell him that he fled.
21. So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up and passed the river and set his face toward Mount Gilead.
22. And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
23. Then he took his brethren with him and pursued after him seven days’ journey; and they overtook him in Mount Gilead.
24. And God came to Laban the Aramean in dreams by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
25. Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount; and Laban with his brethren pitched in Mount Gilead.
26. And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away my heart and carried away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?
27. Why didst thou flee away secretly and steal away from me and didst not tell me that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs with tambourine and with harp?
28. And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
