12. He said, 'Lift up now your eyes and see that all the male goats which are mating 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, leave 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 also entirely consumed our 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."
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 household idols that were her father's.
20. And Jacob deceived 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.
22. When it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled,
23. then he took his kinsmen with him and pursued him a distance of seven days' journey, and he overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
