Genesis - ch 31 v 21 - 40

  1. So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
  2. Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.
  3. He took his relatives with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey. He overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
  4. God came to Laban, the Syrian, in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Take heed to yourself that you don't speak to Jacob either good or bad."
  5. 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.
  6. Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?
  7. 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;
  8. and didn't allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you done foolishly.
  9. It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, 'Take heed to yourself that you don't speak to Jacob either good or bad.'
  10. Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father's house, but why have you stolen my gods?"
  11. Jacob answered Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I said, 'Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.'
  12. Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it." For Jacob didn't know that Rachel had stolen them.
  13. Laban went into Jacob's tent, into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two female servants; but he didn't find them. He went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
  14. Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, put them in the camel's saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt about all the tent, but didn't find them.
  15. She said to her father, "Don't let my lord be angry that I can't rise up before you; for the manner of women is on me." He searched, but didn't find the teraphim.
  16. Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, "What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued after me?
  17. Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between us two.
  18. These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I haven't eaten the rams of your flocks.
  19. That which was torn of animals, I didn't bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
  20. This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes.
