Genesis 31:14-24 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. Then Rachel and Leah answered him, “Do we have any portion or inheritance in our father’s household?

15. Are we not regarded by him as outsiders? For he has sold us and has certainly spent our money.

16. In fact, all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has said to you.”

17. Then Jacob got up and put his children and wives on the camels.

18. He took all the livestock and possessions he had acquired in Paddan-aram, and he drove his herds to go to the land of his father Isaac in Canaan.

19. When Laban had gone to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.

20. And Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean, not telling him that he was fleeing.

21. He fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.

22. On the third day Laban was told that Jacob had fled.

23. So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him at Mount Gilead.

24. But God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night. “Watch yourself! ” God warned him. “Don’t say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.”
