1. One day Jacob heard Laban’s sons talking. They said, “Jacob has taken everything our father owned, and in this way he has become rich.”
2. Then Jacob noticed that Laban was not as friendly as he had been before.
3. The Lord said to Jacob, “Go back to the land where your ancestors lived, and I will be with you.”
4. So Jacob told Rachel and Leah to meet him in the field where he kept his flocks.
5. He said to them, “I have seen that your father is not as friendly with me as he used to be, but the God of my father has been with me.
