Bereshis 31:15-26 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

15. Are we not regarded by him nokhriyyot (foreigners, strangers)? For he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our kesef.

16. For all the oisher Elohim hath taken from avinu, that belongs to us and baneinu; so then, whatsoever Elohim hath said unto thee, do.

17. Then Ya'akov rose up, and set his banim and his nashim upon the gemalim;

18. And he drove all his mikneh, and all his goods which he had gotten, the mikneh of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan Aram, for to go to Yitzchak aviv in Eretz Kena'an.

19. And Lavan went to shear his tzon; and Rachel had stolen the terafim that belong to her av.

20. Unawares to Lavan HaArami, Ya'akov stole away, in that he told him not that he was fleeing.

21. So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the Nahar [i.e. the Euphrates], and set his face toward Har Gil'ad.

22. And it was told Lavan on Yom HaShlishi that Ya'akov was fled.

23. And he took his achim with him, and pursued after him derech shivat yamim; and they overtook him at Har Gil`ad.

24. And Elohim came to Lavan HaArami in a chalom halailah, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Ya'akov either tov or rah.

25. Then Lavan overtook Ya'akov. Now Ya'akov had pitched his ohel on the har; and Lavan with his achim encamped in Har Gil`ad.

26. And Lavan said to Ya'akov, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my banot, like shevuyot (captives) taken with the cherev?
