King James Version Help
31And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory.H8085H1697H3837H1121H559H3290H3947H1H1H6213H3519
2And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.H3290H7200H6440H3837H8543H8032
3And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.H3068H559H3290H7725H776H1H4138
4And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,H3290H7971H7121H7354H3812H7704H6629
5And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.H559H7200H1H6440H8543H8032H430H1H1961
6And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.H859H3045H3581H5647H1
7And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.H1H2048H2498H4909H6235H4489H430H5414H7489H5978
8If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.H559H5348H7939H6629H3205H5348H559H6124H7939H3205H6629H6124
9Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.H430H5337H4735H1H5414
10And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.H6256H6629H3179H5375H5869H7200H2472H6260H5927H6629H6124H5348H1261
11And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.H4397H430H559H2472H3290H559
12And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.H559H5375H5869H7200H6260H5927H6629H6124H5348H1261H7200H3837H6213
13I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.H410H1008H4886H4676H5087H5088H6965H3318H776H7725H776H4138
14And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?H7354H3812H6030H559H2506H5159H1H1004
15Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.H2803H5237H4376H398H398H3701
16For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.H6239H430H5337H1H1121H430H559H6213
17Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;H3290H6965H5375H1121H802H1581
18And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan-aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.H5090H4735H7399H7408H4735H7075H7408H6307H935H3327H1H776H3667
19And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.H3837H1980H1494H6629H7354H1589H8655H1
20And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.H3290H1589H3820H3837H761H5921H5046H1097H1272
21So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.H1272H6965H5674H5104H7760H6440H2022H1568
22And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.H5046H3837H7992H3117H3290H1272
23And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.H3947H251H7291H310H7651H3117H1870H1692H2022H1568
24And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.H430H935H3837H761H2472H3915H559H8104H1696H5973H3290H2896H5704H7451
25Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.H3837H5381H3290H3290H8628H168H2022H3837H251H8628H2022H1568
26And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?H3837H559H3290H6213H1589H3824H5090H1323H7617H2719
27Wherefore 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 tabret, and with harp?H1272H2244H1589H5046H7971H8057H7892H8596H3658
28And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.H5203H5401H1121H1323H5528H6213
29It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.H3426H410H3027H6213H7451H430H1H559H570H559H8104H1696H3290H2896H7451
30And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?H1980H1980H3700H3700H1H1004H1589H430
31And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.H3290H6030H559H3837H3372H559H6435H1497H1323
32With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.H834H4672H430H2421H5048H251H5234H3947H3290H3045H7354H1589
33And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.H3837H935H3290H168H3812H168H8147H519H168H4672H3318H3812H168H935H7354H168
34Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.H7354H3947H8655H7760H1581H3733H3427H3837H4959H168H4672
35And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.H559H1H2734H5869H113H3201H6965H6440H1870H802H2664H4672H8655
36And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?H3290H2734H7378H3837H3290H6030H559H3837H6588H2403H1814H310
37Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.H3588H4959H3627H4672H1004H3627H7760H3541H251H251H3198H996H8147
38This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.H6242H8141H7353H5795H7921H352H6629H398
39That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.H2966H935H2398H3027H1245H1589H3117H1589H3915
40Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.H3117H2721H398H7140H3915H8142H5074H5869
41Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.H6242H8141H1004H5647H702H6240H8141H8147H1323H8337H8141H6629H2498H4909H6235H4489
42Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.H3884H430H1H430H85H6343H3327H7971H7387H430H7200H6040H3018H3709H3198H570
43And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?H3837H6030H559H3290H1323H1323H1121H1121H6629H6629H7200H6213H3117H1323H176H1121H3205
44Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.H3212H3772H1285H5707
45And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.H3290H3947H68H7311H4676
46And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.H3290H559H251H3950H68H3947H68H6213H1530H398H1530
47And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.H3837H7121H3026H3290H7121H1567
48And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;H3837H559H1530H5707H3117H8034H7121H1567
49And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.H4709H834H559H3068H6822H5641H376H7453
50If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.H6031H1323H3947H802H5921H1323H376H7200H430H5707
51And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;H3837H559H3290H1530H4676H3384
52This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.H1530H5707H4676H5713H5674H1530H5674H1530H4676H7451
53The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.H430H85H430H5152H430H1H8199H3290H7650H6343H1H3327
54Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.H3290H2076H2077H2022H7121H251H398H3899H398H3899H3885H2022
55And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.H7925H1242H3837H7925H5401H1121H1323H1288H3837H3212H7725H4725
