17. And so Jacob rose up, and having placed the children and his wives upon camels, he went forth.
18. And he took all his substance and flocks, and whatever he had acquired in Mesopotamia, and he journeyed to his father Isaac, in the land of Canaan.
19. At that time, Laban had gone to shear the sheep, and so Rachel stole her father's idols.
20. And Jacob was not willing to confess to his father-in-law that he was fleeing.
21. And when he had gone away with all such things that were justly his, and, having crossed the river, was continuing on toward Mount Gilead,
22. it was reported to Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
23. And taking his brothers with him, he pursued him for seven days. And he overtook him at Mount Gilead.
24. And he saw in a dream, God saying to him, "Beware that you not speak anything harsh against Jacob."
25. And now Jacob had pitched his tent at the mountain. And when he, with his brothers, had overtaken him, he set his tent at the same place at Mount Gilead.
