Genesis 31:13-23 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

13. I am the God of Beth-El where you anointed a memorial stone, where you made a vow to Me. Get up now and leave this land, and return to the land of your relatives.’”

14. Then Rachel answered along with Leah and they said to him, “Is there still a portion and inheritance for us in our father’s house?

15. Aren’t we considered foreigners to him? For he has sold us and has also completely used up our bridal price.

16. For all the riches that God has taken away from our father is for us and for our children. So now, everything God said to you, do it!”

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

18. He drove away all his livestock and all his possessions that he had acquired—the livestock in his possession that he acquired in Paddan-aram—to go to his father Isaac, to the land of Canaan.

19. But while Laban went to shear his flocks, Rachel stole the idols that belonged to her father,

20. while Jacob stole the heart from Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was fleeing.

21. He himself fled with everything that belonged to him, and he got up and crossed the River, and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead.

22. When Laban was told on the third day after Jacob had fled,

23. he took his relatives with him and pursued him a seven days’ journey. Then he overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
