12. And he said, Lift up now thy eyes and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth to thee.
13. I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst to me a vow: now arise, depart from 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 counted by him strangers; for he hath sold us, and hath quite consumed also our money.
16. For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then whatever God hath said to thee, do.
17. Then Jacob arose, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
18. And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gained, the cattle of his getting, which he had gained in Padan-aram; to go to Isaac, his father, in the land of Canaan.
19. And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
20. And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he was about to depart.
21. So he fled with all that he had; and he arose, and passed over the river, and set his face towards the 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 they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
24. And God came to Laban, the Syrian, in a dream by night, and said to 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 the mount of Gilead.
