Genesis 31 (kjv)

And he heard^H8085 the words^H1697 of Laban's^H3837 sons^H1121, saying^H559, Jacob^H3290 hath taken away^H3947 all that was our father's^H1; and of that which was our father's^H1 hath he gotten^H6213 all this glory^H3519.²And Jacob^H3290 beheld^H7200 the countenance^H6440 of Laban^H3837, and, behold, it was not toward him as^H8543 before^H8032.³And the LORD^H3068 said^H559 unto Jacob^H3290, Return^H7725 unto the land^H776 of thy fathers^H1, and to thy kindred^H4138; and I will be with thee.⁴And Jacob^H3290 sent^H7971 and called^H7121 Rachel^H7354 and Leah^H3812 to the field^H7704 unto his flock^H6629,⁵And said^H559 unto them, I see^H7200 your father's^H1 countenance^H6440, that it is not toward me as^H8543 before^H8032; but the God^H430 of my father^H1 hath been^H1961 with me.⁶And ye^H859 know^H3045 that with all my power^H3581 I have served^H5647 your father^H1.⁷And your father^H1 hath deceived^H2048 me, and changed^H2498 my wages^H4909 ten^H6235 times^H4489; but God^H430 suffered him^H5414 not to hurt^H7489 me^H5978.⁸If he said^H559 thus, The speckled^H5348 shall be thy wages^H7939; then all the cattle^H6629 bare^H3205 speckled^H5348: and if he said^H559 thus, The ringstraked^H6124 shall be thy hire^H7939; then bare^H3205 all the cattle^H6629 ringstraked^H6124.⁹Thus God^H430 hath taken away^H5337 the cattle^H4735 of your father^H1, and given^H5414 them to me.¹⁰And it came to pass at the time^H6256 that the cattle^H6629 conceived^H3179, that I lifted up^H5375 mine eyes^H5869, and saw^H7200 in a dream^H2472, and, behold, the rams^H6260 which leaped^H5927 upon the cattle^H6629 were ringstraked^H6124, speckled^H5348, and grisled^H1261.¹¹And the angel^H4397 of God^H430 spake^H559 unto me in a dream^H2472, saying, Jacob^H3290: And I said^H559, Here am I.¹²And he said^H559, Lift up^H5375 now thine eyes^H5869, and see^H7200, all the rams^H6260 which leap^H5927 upon the cattle^H6629 are ringstraked^H6124, speckled^H5348, and grisled^H1261: for I have seen^H7200 all that Laban^H3837 doeth^H6213 unto thee.¹³I am the God^H410 of Bethel^H1008, where thou anointedst^H4886 the pillar^H4676, and where thou vowedst^H5087 a vow^H5088 unto me: now arise^H6965, get thee out^H3318 from this land^H776, and return^H7725 unto the land^H776 of thy kindred^H4138.¹⁴And Rachel^H7354 and Leah^H3812 answered^H6030 and said^H559 unto him, Is there yet any portion^H2506 or inheritance^H5159 for us in our father's^H1 house^H1004?¹⁵Are we not counted^H2803 of him strangers^H5237? for he hath sold^H4376 us, and hath quite^H398 devoured^H398 also our money^H3701.¹⁶For all the riches^H6239 which God^H430 hath taken^H5337 from our father^H1, that is ours, and our children's^H1121: now then, whatsoever God^H430 hath said^H559 unto thee, do^H6213.¹⁷Then Jacob^H3290 rose up^H6965, and set^H5375 his sons^H1121 and his wives^H802 upon camels^H1581;¹⁸And he carried away^H5090 all his cattle^H4735, and all his goods^H7399 which he had gotten^H7408, the cattle^H4735 of his getting^H7075, which he had gotten^H7408 in Padanaram^H6307, for to go^H935 to Isaac^H3327 his father^H1 in the land^H776 of Canaan^H3667.

¹⁹And Laban^H3837 went^H1980 to shear^H1494 his sheep^H6629: and Rachel^H7354 had stolen^H1589 the images^H8655 that were her father's^H1.²⁰And Jacob^H3290 stole away^H1589 unawares^H3820 to Laban^H3837 the Syrian^H761, in that^H5921 he told^H5046 him not^H1097 that he fled^H1272.²¹So he fled^H1272 with all that he had; and he rose up^H6965, and passed over^H5674 the river^H5104, and set^H7760 his face^H6440 toward the mount^H2022 Gilead^H1568.

²²And it was told^H5046 Laban^H3837 on the third^H7992 day^H3117 that Jacob^H3290 was fled^H1272.²³And he took^H3947 his brethren^H251 with him, and pursued^H7291 after him^H310 seven^H7651 days^H3117' journey^H1870; and they overtook^H1692 him in the mount^H2022 Gilead^H1568.²⁴And God^H430 came^H935 to Laban^H3837 the Syrian^H761 in a dream^H2472 by night^H3915, and said^H559 unto him, Take heed^H8104 that thou speak^H1696 not to^H5973 Jacob^H3290 either good^H2896 or^H5704 bad^H7451.²⁵Then Laban^H3837 overtook^H5381 Jacob^H3290. Now Jacob^H3290 had pitched^H8628 his tent^H168 in the mount^H2022: and Laban^H3837 with his brethren^H251 pitched^H8628 in the mount^H2022 of Gilead^H1568.²⁶And Laban^H3837 said^H559 to Jacob^H3290, What hast thou done^H6213, that thou hast stolen away^H1589 unawares^H3824 to me, and carried away^H5090 my daughters^H1323, as captives^H7617 taken with the sword^H2719?²⁷Wherefore didst thou flee away^H1272 secretly^H2244, and steal away^H1589 from me; and didst not tell^H5046 me, that I might have sent thee away^H7971 with mirth^H8057, and with songs^H7892, with tabret^H8596, and with harp^H3658?²⁸And hast not suffered^H5203 me to kiss^H5401 my sons^H1121 and my daughters^H1323? thou hast now done foolishly^H5528 in so doing^H6213.²⁹It is^H3426 in the power^H410 of my hand^H3027 to do^H6213 you hurt^H7451: but the God^H430 of your father^H1 spake^H559 unto me yesternight^H570, saying^H559, Take thou heed^H8104 that thou speak not^H1696 to Jacob^H3290 either good^H2896 or bad^H7451.³⁰And now, though thou wouldest needs^H1980 be gone^H1980, because thou sore^H3700 longedst^H3700 after thy father's^H1 house^H1004, yet wherefore hast thou stolen^H1589 my gods^H430?³¹And Jacob^H3290 answered^H6030 and said^H559 to Laban^H3837, Because I was afraid^H3372: for I said^H559, Peradventure^H6435 thou wouldest take by force^H1497 thy daughters^H1323 from me.³²With whomsoever^H834 thou findest^H4672 thy gods^H430, let him not live^H2421: before^H5048 our brethren^H251 discern^H5234 thou what is thine with me, and take^H3947 it to thee. For Jacob^H3290 knew^H3045 not that Rachel^H7354 had stolen^H1589 them.³³And Laban^H3837 went^H935 into Jacob's^H3290 tent^H168, and into Leah's^H3812 tent^H168, and into the two^H8147 maidservants^H519' tents^H168; but he found^H4672 them not. Then went he out^H3318 of Leah's^H3812 tent^H168, and entered^H935 into Rachel's^H7354 tent^H168.

³⁴Now Rachel^H7354 had taken^H3947 the images^H8655, and put^H7760 them in the camel's^H1581 furniture^H3733, and sat^H3427 upon them. And Laban^H3837 searched^H4959 all the tent^H168, but found^H4672 them not.³⁵And she said^H559 to her father^H1, Let it not displease^{H2734 H5869} my lord^H113 that I cannot^H3201 rise up^H6965 before thee^H6440; for the custom^H1870 of women^H802 is upon me. And he searched^H2664, but found^H4672 not the images^H8655.

³⁶And Jacob^H3290 was wroth^H2734, and chode^H7378 with Laban^H3837: and Jacob^H3290 answered^H6030 and said^H559 to Laban^H3837, What is my trespass^H6588? what is my sin^H2403, that thou hast so hotly pursued^H1814 after me^H310?³⁷Whereas^H3588 thou hast searched^H4959 all my stuff^H3627, what hast thou found^H4672 of all thy household^H1004 stuff^H3627? set^H7760 it here^H3541 before my brethren^H251 and thy brethren^H251, that they may judge^H3198 betwixt^H996 us both^H8147.³⁸This twenty^H6242 years^H8141 have I been with thee; thy ewes^H7353 and thy she goats^H5795 have not cast their young^H7921, and the rams^H352 of thy flock^H6629 have I not eaten^H398.³⁹That which was torn^H2966 of beasts I brought^H935 not unto thee; I bare the loss^H2398 of it; of my hand^H3027 didst thou require^H1245 it, whether stolen^H1589 by day^H3117, or stolen^H1589 by night^H3915.⁴⁰Thus I was; in the day^H3117 the drought^H2721 consumed^H398 me, and the frost^H7140 by night^H3915; and my sleep^H8142 departed^H5074 from mine eyes^H5869.⁴¹Thus have I been twenty^H6242 years^H8141 in thy house^H1004; I served thee^H5647 fourteen^{H702 H6240} years^H8141 for thy two^H8147 daughters^H1323, and six^H8337 years^H8141 for thy cattle^H6629: and thou hast changed^H2498 my wages^H4909 ten^H6235 times^H4489.⁴²Except^H3884 the God^H430 of my father^H1, the God^H430 of Abraham^H85, and the fear^H6343 of Isaac^H3327, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away^H7971 now empty^H7387. God^H430 hath seen^H7200 mine affliction^H6040 and the labour^H3018 of my hands^H3709, and rebuked^H3198 thee yesternight^H570.

⁴³And Laban^H3837 answered^H6030 and said^H559 unto Jacob^H3290, These daughters^H1323 are my daughters^H1323, and these children^H1121 are my children^H1121, and these cattle^H6629 are my cattle^H6629, and all that thou seest^H7200 is mine: and what can I do^H6213 this day^H3117 unto these my daughters^H1323, or^H176 unto their children^H1121 which they have born^H3205?⁴⁴Now therefore come thou^H3212, let us make^H3772 a covenant^H1285, I and thou; and let it be for a witness^H5707 between me and thee.⁴⁵And Jacob^H3290 took^H3947 a stone^H68, and set it up^H7311 for a pillar^H4676.⁴⁶And Jacob^H3290 said^H559 unto his brethren^H251, Gather^H3950 stones^H68; and they took^H3947 stones^H68, and made^H6213 an heap^H1530: and they did eat^H398 there upon the heap^H1530.⁴⁷And Laban^H3837 called^H7121 it Jegarsahadutha^H3026: but Jacob^H3290 called^H7121 it Galeed^H1567.⁴⁸And Laban^H3837 said^H559, This heap^H1530 is a witness^H5707 between me and thee this day^H3117. Therefore was the name^H8034 of it called^H7121 Galeed^H1567;⁴⁹And Mizpah^H4709; for^H834 he said^H559, The LORD^H3068 watch^H6822 between me and thee, when we are absent^H5641 one^H376 from another^H7453.⁵⁰If thou shalt afflict^H6031 my daughters^H1323, or if thou shalt take^H3947 other wives^H802 beside^H5921 my daughters^H1323, no man^H376 is with us; see^H7200, God^H430 is witness^H5707 betwixt me and thee.⁵¹And Laban^H3837 said^H559 to Jacob^H3290, Behold this heap^H1530, and behold this pillar^H4676, which I have cast^H3384 betwixt me and thee;⁵²This heap^H1530 be witness^H5707, and this pillar^H4676 be witness^H5713, that I will not pass over^H5674 this heap^H1530 to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over^H5674 this heap^H1530 and this pillar^H4676 unto me, for harm^H7451.⁵³The God^H430 of Abraham^H85, and the God^H430 of Nahor^H5152, the God^H430 of their father^H1, judge^H8199 betwixt us. And Jacob^H3290 sware^H7650 by the fear^H6343 of his father^H1 Isaac^H3327.⁵⁴Then Jacob^H3290 offered^H2076 sacrifice^H2077 upon the mount^H2022, and called^H7121 his brethren^H251 to eat^H398 bread^H3899: and they did eat^H398 bread^H3899, and tarried all night^H3885 in the mount^H2022.⁵⁵And early^H7925 in the morning^H1242 Laban^H3837 rose up^H7925, and kissed^H5401 his sons^H1121 and his daughters^H1323, and blessed^H1288 them: and Laban^H3837 departed^H3212, and returned^H7725 unto his place^H4725.
