Genesis, Chapter 31

¹ Now^a Lit heJacob heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s, and from what belonged to our father he has made all this^b Lit glorywealth.” ² Jacob saw the^c Lit faceattitude of Laban, and behold, it was not friendly toward him as formerly. ³ Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you.” ⁴ So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to his flock in the field, ⁵ and said to them, “I see your father’s^d Lit faceattitude, that it is not friendly toward me as formerly, but the God of my father has been with me. ⁶ You know that I have served your father with all my strength. ⁷ Yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times; however, God did not allow him to hurt me. ⁸ If he spoke thus, ‘The speckled shall be your wages,’ then all the flock brought forth speckled; and if he spoke thus, ‘The striped shall be your wages,’ then all the flock brought forth striped. ⁹ Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me. ¹⁰ And it came about at the time when the flock were^e Or conceivingmating that I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which were^f Lit leaping upon the flockmating were striped, speckled, and mottled. ¹¹ Then the angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’ ¹² He said, ‘Lift up now your eyes and see that all the male goats which are^g Lit leaping upon the flockmating are striped, speckled, and mottled; for I have seen all that Laban has been doing to you. ¹³ I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you made a vow to Me; now arise,^h Lit go out fromleave this land, and return to the land of your birth.’” ¹⁴ Rachel and Leah said to him, “Do we still have any portion or inheritance in our father’s house? ¹⁵ Are we not reckoned by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has alsoⁱ I.e. enjoyed the benefit ofentirely consumed^j Lit our moneyour purchase price. ¹⁶ Surely all the wealth which God has taken away from our father belongs to us and our children; now then, do whatever God has said to you.”	3 Gen 32:9 Gen 28:15 5 Gen 31:2 Gen 21:22 Gen 28:13 Gen 28:15 Gen 31:29 Gen 31:42 Gen 31:53 Isa 41:10 Heb 13:5 6 Gen 30:29 7 Gen 29:25 Gen 31:41 Gen 15:1 Gen 31:29 8 Gen 30:32 9 Gen 31:1 Gen 31:16 11 Gen 16:7-11 Gen 22:11 Gen 22:15 Gen 31:13 Gen 48:16 12 Exo 3:7 13 Gen 28:13 Gen 28:19 Gen 28:18 Gen 28:20 Gen 28:15 Gen 32:9 15 Gen 29:20 Gen 29:23 Gen 29:27
¹⁷ Then Jacob arose and put his children and his wives upon camels; ¹⁸ and he drove away all his livestock and all his property which he had gathered, his acquired livestock which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to the land of Canaan to his father Isaac. ¹⁹ When Laban had gone to shear his flock, then Rachel stole the^k Heb teraphimhousehold idols that were her father’s. ²⁰ And Jacob^l Lit stole the heart ofdeceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was fleeing. ²¹ So he fled with all that he had; and he arose and crossed the Euphrates River, and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead.	18 Gen 35:27 19 Gen 31:30 Gen 31:34 Gen 35:2 Jdg 17:5 Sa1 19:13 Hos 3:4 21 Gen 37:25
²² When it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled, ²³ then he took his^m Lit brotherskinsmen with him and pursued him a distance of seven days’ journey, and he overtook him in the hill country of Gilead. ²⁴ God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night and said to him, “ⁿ Lit Take heed to yourselfBe careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad.”	24 Gen 20:3 Gen 31:29 Gen 20:3 Gen 20:6 Gen 31:11 Gen 24:50 Gen 31:7 Gen 31:29
²⁵ Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his^o Lit brotherskinsmen camped in the hill country of Gilead. ²⁶ Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done^p Lit and you have stolen my heartby deceiving me and carrying away my daughters like captives of the sword? ²⁷ Why did you flee secretly and^q Lit steal medeceive me, and did not tell me so that I might have sent you away with joy and with songs, with timbrel and with lyre; ²⁸ and did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly. ²⁹ It is in^r Lit the power of my handmy power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘^s Lit Take heed to yourselfBe careful not to speak either good or bad to Jacob.’ ³⁰ Now you have indeed gone away because you longed greatly for your father’s house; but why did you steal my gods?” ³¹ Then Jacob replied to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force. ³² The one with whom you find your gods shall not live; in the presence of our^t Lit brotherskinsmen^u Lit recognizepoint out what is yours^v Lit with meamong my belongings and take it for yourself.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.	27 Exo 15:20 Gen 4:21 28 Gen 31:55 29 Gen 31:5 Gen 31:24 Gen 31:42 Gen 31:53 Gen 31:24 30 Gen 31:19 Jos 24:2 Jdg 18:24 32 Gen 44:9
³³ So Laban went into Jacob’s tent and into Leah’s tent and into the tent of the two maids, but he did not find them. Then he went out of Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s tent. ³⁴ Now Rachel had taken the^w Heb teraphimhousehold idols and put them in the camel’s saddle, and she sat on them. And Laban felt through all the tent but did not find them. ³⁵ She said to her father, “Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the manner of women is upon me.” So he searched but did not find the^x Heb teraphimhousehold idols.	35 Lev 19:32 Gen 31:19
³⁶ Then Jacob became angry and contended with Laban; and Jacob said to Laban, “What is my transgression? What is my sin that you have hotly pursued me? ³⁷ Though you have felt through all my goods, what have you found of all your household goods? Set it here before my^y Lit brotherskinsmen and your^z Lit brotherskinsmen, that they may decide between us two. ³⁸ These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flocks. ³⁹ That which was torn of beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it myself. You required it of my hand whether stolen by day or stolen by night. ⁴⁰ Thus I was: by day the^aa Or droughtheat consumed me and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes. ⁴¹ These twenty years I have been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flock, and you changed my wages ten times. ⁴² If the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had not been for me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, so He rendered judgment last night.”	41 Gen 29:27 Gen 29:30 Gen 31:7 42 Gen 31:5 Gen 31:29 Gen 31:53 Gen 29:32 Exo 3:7 Gen 31:24 Gen 31:29
⁴³ Then Laban replied to Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day to these my daughters or to their children whom they have borne? ⁴⁴ So now come, let us make a covenant,^ab Lit I and youyou and I, and let it be a witness between^ac Lit me and youyou and me.” ⁴⁵ Then Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar. ⁴⁶ Jacob said to his^ad Lit brotherskinsmen, “Gather stones.” So they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there by the heap. ⁴⁷ Now Laban called it^ae I.e. the heap of witness, in AramJegar-sahadutha, but Jacob called it^af I.e. the heap of witness, in HebGaleed. ⁴⁸ Laban said, “This heap is a witness between^ag Lit me and youyou and me this day.” Therefore it was named Galeed, ⁴⁹ and^ah Lit the Mizpah; i.e. the watchtowerMizpah, for he said, “May the LORD watch between^ai Lit me and youyou and me when we are^aj Lit hiddenabsent one from the other. ⁵⁰ If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us, see, God is witness between^ak Lit me and youyou and me.” ⁵¹ Laban said to Jacob, “Behold this heap and behold the pillar which I have set between^al Lit me and youyou and me. ⁵² This heap is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass by this heap to you for harm, and you will not pass by this heap and this pillar to me, for harm. ⁵³ The God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” So Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac. ⁵⁴ Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his^am Lit brotherskinsmen to^an Lit eat breadthe meal; and they ate^ao Lit breadthe meal and spent the night on the mountain. ⁵⁵ ^ap Ch 32:1 in HebEarly in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his sons and his daughters and blessed them. Then Laban departed and returned to his place.	43 Gen 31:1 44 Gen 21:27 Gen 21:32 Gen 26:28 Jos 24:27 45 Gen 28:18 Jos 24:26 Jos 24:27 47 Jos 22:34 48 Jos 24:27 49 Jdg 11:29 Sa1 7:5 Sa1 7:6 50 Jer 29:23 Jer 42:5 53 Gen 28:13 Gen 16:5 Gen 31:42 54 Exo 18:12 55 Gen 31:28 Gen 31:43
