Genesis 31:14-22 World English Bible (WEB)

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.
