1 But Jacob soon learned that Laban’s sons were grumbling about him. “Jacob has robbed our father of everything!” they said. “He has gained all his wealth at our father’s expense.”
Genesis 31:1

2 And Jacob began to notice a change in Laban’s attitude toward him.
Genesis 31:2

3 Then the lord said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your father and grandfather and to your relatives there, and I will be with you.”
Genesis 31:3

4 So Jacob called Rachel and Leah out to the field where he was watching his flock.
Genesis 31:4

5 He said to them, “I have noticed that your father’s attitude toward me has changed. But the God of my father has been with me.
Genesis 31:5

6 You know how hard I have worked for your father,
Genesis 31:6

7 but he has cheated me, changing my wages ten times. But God has not allowed him to do me any harm.
Genesis 31:7

8 For if he said, ‘The speckled animals will be your wages,’ the whole flock began to produce speckled young. And when he changed his mind and said, ‘The striped animals will be your wages,’ then the whole flock produced striped young.
Genesis 31:8

9 In this way, God has taken your father’s animals and given them to me.
Genesis 31:9

10 “One time during the mating season, I had a dream and saw that the male goats mating with the females were streaked, speckled, and spotted.
Genesis 31:10

11 Then in my dream, the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Yes, here I am.’
Genesis 31:11

12 “The angel said, ‘Look up, and you will see that only the streaked, speckled, and spotted males are mating with the females of your flock. For I have seen how Laban has treated you.
Genesis 31:12

13 I am the God who appeared to you at Bethel, the place where you anointed the pillar of stone and made your vow to me. Now get ready and leave this country and return to the land of your birth.’”
Genesis 31:13

14 Rachel and Leah responded, “That’s fine with us! We won’t inherit any of our father’s wealth anyway.
Genesis 31:14

15 He has reduced our rights to those of foreign women. And after he sold us, he wasted the money you paid him for us.
Genesis 31:15

16 All the wealth God has given you from our father legally belongs to us and our children. So go ahead and do whatever God has told you.”
Genesis 31:16

17 So Jacob put his wives and children on camels,
Genesis 31:17

18 and he drove all his livestock in front of him. He packed all the belongings he had acquired in Paddan-aram and set out for the land of Canaan, where his father, Isaac, lived.
Genesis 31:18

19 At the time they left, Laban was some distance away, shearing his sheep. Rachel stole her father’s household idols and took them with her.
Genesis 31:19

20 Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean, for they set out secretly and never told Laban they were leaving.
Genesis 31:20

21 So Jacob took all his possessions with him and crossed the Euphrates River, heading for the hill country of Gilead.
Genesis 31:21

22 Three days later, Laban was told that Jacob had fled.
Genesis 31:22

23 So he gathered a group of his relatives and set out in hot pursuit. He caught up with Jacob seven days later in the hill country of Gilead.
Genesis 31:23

24 But the previous night God had appeared to Laban the Aramean in a dream and told him, “I’m warning you—leave Jacob alone!”
Genesis 31:24

25 Laban caught up with Jacob as he was camped in the hill country of Gilead, and he set up his camp not far from Jacob’s.
Genesis 31:25

26 “What do you mean by deceiving me like this?” Laban demanded. “How dare you drag my daughters away like prisoners of war?
Genesis 31:26

27 Why did you slip away secretly? Why did you deceive me? And why didn’t you say you wanted to leave? I would have given you a farewell feast, with singing and music, accompanied by tambourines and harps.
Genesis 31:27

28 Why didn’t you let me kiss my daughters and grandchildren and tell them good-bye? You have acted very foolishly!
Genesis 31:28

29 I could destroy you, but the God of your father appeared to me last night and warned me, ‘Leave Jacob alone!’
Genesis 31:29

30 I can understand your feeling that you must go, and your intense longing for your father’s home. But why have you stolen my gods?”
Genesis 31:30

31 “I rushed away because I was afraid,” Jacob answered. “I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
Genesis 31:31
