11. The angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’
12. He said, ‘Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you.
13. I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.’”
14. Rachel and Leah answered him, “Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?
15. Aren’t we accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also quite devoured our money.
16. For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do.”
17. Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels,
18. and he took away all his livestock, and all his possessions which he had gathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.
19. Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father’s.
20. Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away.
21. So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
22. Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.
23. He took his relatives with him, and pursued him seven days’ journey. He overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
24. God came to Laban, the Syrian, in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.”
25. Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain of Gilead.
26. Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?
27. Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;
28. and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you done foolishly.
