14

And Rachelh7354 and Leahh3812 answeredh6030h8799 and saidh559h8799 unto him, Is there yet any portionh2506 or inheritanceh5159 for us in our father'sh1 househ1004?

16

For all the richesh6239 which Godh430 hath takenh5337h8689 from our fatherh1, that is ours, and our children'sh1121: now then, whatsoever Godh430 hath saidh559h8804 unto thee, doh6213h8798.

22

And it was toldh5046h8714 Labanh3837 on the thirdh7992 dayh3117 that Jacobh3290 was fledh1272h8804.

23

And he tookh3947h8799 his brethrenh251 with him, and pursuedh7291h8799 after himh310 sevenh7651 daysh3117' journeyh1870; and they overtookh1692h8686 him in the mounth2022 Gileadh1568.

24

And Godh430 cameh935h8799 to Labanh3837 the Syrianh761 in a dreamh2472 by nighth3915, and saidh559h8799 unto him, Take heedh8104h8734 that thou speakh1696h8762 not toh5973 Jacobh3290 either goodh2896 orh5704 badh7451. either...: Heb. from good to bad

26

And Labanh3837 saidh559h8799 to Jacobh3290, What hast thou doneh6213h8804, that thou hast stolen awayh1589h8799 unawaresh3824 to me, and carried awayh5090h8762 my daughtersh1323, as captivesh7617h8803 taken with the swordh2719?

27

Wherefore didst thou flee awayh1272h8800 secretlyh2244h8738, and steal awayh1589h8799 from me; and didst not tellh5046h8689 me, that I might have sent thee awayh7971h8762 with mirthh8057, and with songsh7892, with tabreth8596, and with harph3658? steal...: Heb. hast stolen me

28

And hast not sufferedh5203h8804 me to kissh5401h8763 my sonsh1121 and my daughtersh1323? thou hast now done foolishlyh5528h8689 in so doingh6213h8800.

29

It ish3426 in the powerh410 of my handh3027 to doh6213h8800 you hurth7451: but the Godh430 of your fatherh1 spakeh559h8804 unto me yesternighth570, sayingh559h8800, Take thou heedh8104h8734 that thou speak noth1696h8763 to Jacobh3290 either goodh2896 or badh7451.

30

And now, though thou wouldest needsh1980h8800 be goneh1980h8804, because thou soreh3700h8736 longedsth3700h8738 after thy father'sh1 househ1004, yet wherefore hast thou stolenh1589h8804 my godsh430?

31

And Jacobh3290 answeredh6030h8799 and saidh559h8799 to Labanh3837, Because I was afraidh3372h8804: for I saidh559h8804, Peradventureh6435 thou wouldest take by forceh1497h8799 thy daughtersh1323 from me.

32

With whomsoeverh834 thou findesth4672h8799 thy godsh430, let him not liveh2421h8799: beforeh5048 our brethrenh251 discernh5234h8685 thou what is thine with me, and takeh3947h8798 it to thee. For Jacobh3290 knewh3045h8804 not that Rachelh7354 had stolenh1589h8804 them.

33

And Labanh3837 wenth935h8799 into Jacob'sh3290 tenth168, and into Leah'sh3812 tenth168, and into the twoh8147 maidservantsh519' tentsh168; but he foundh4672h8804 them not. Then went he outh3318h8799 of Leah'sh3812 tenth168, and enteredh935h8799 into Rachel'sh7354 tenth168.

34

Now Rachelh7354 had takenh3947h8804 the imagesh8655, and puth7760h8799 them in the camel'sh1581 furnitureh3733, and sath3427h8799 upon them. And Labanh3837 searchedh4959h8762 all the tenth168, but foundh4672h8804 them not. searched: Heb. felt

35

And she saidh559h8799 to her fatherh1, Let it not displeaseh2734h8799h5869 my lordh113 that I cannoth3201h8799 rise uph6965h8800 before theeh6440; for the customh1870 of womenh802 is upon me. And he searchedh2664h8762, but foundh4672h8804 not the imagesh8655.

36

And Jacobh3290 was wrothh2734h8799, and chodeh7378h8799 with Labanh3837: and Jacobh3290 answeredh6030h8799 and saidh559h8799 to Labanh3837, What is my trespassh6588? what is my sinh2403, that thou hast so hotly pursuedh1814h8804 after meh310?

37

Whereash3588 thou hast searchedh4959h8765 all my stuffh3627, what hast thou foundh4672h8804 of all thy householdh1004 stuffh3627? seth7760h8798 it hereh3541 before my brethrenh251 and thy brethrenh251, that they may judgeh3198h8686 betwixth996 us bothh8147. searched: Heb. felt

38

This twentyh6242 yearsh8141 have I been with thee; thy ewesh7353 and thy she goatsh5795 have not cast their youngh7921h8765, and the ramsh352 of thy flockh6629 have I not eatenh398h8804.

39

That which was tornh2966 of beasts I broughth935h8689 not unto thee; I bare the lossh2398h8762 of it; of my handh3027 didst thou requireh1245h8762 it, whether stolenh1589h8803 by dayh3117, or stolenh1589h8803 by nighth3915.

40

Thus I was; in the dayh3117 the droughth2721 consumedh398h8804 me, and the frosth7140 by nighth3915; and my sleeph8142 departedh5074h8799 from mine eyesh5869.

41

Thus have I been twentyh6242 yearsh8141 in thy househ1004; I served theeh5647h8804 fourteenh702h6240 yearsh8141 for thy twoh8147 daughtersh1323, and sixh8337 yearsh8141 for thy cattleh6629: and thou hast changedh2498h8686 my wagesh4909 tenh6235 timesh4489.

42

Excepth3884 the Godh430 of my fatherh1, the Godh430 of Abrahamh85, and the fearh6343 of Isaach3327, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me awayh7971h8765 now emptyh7387. Godh430 hath seenh7200h8804 mine afflictionh6040 and the labourh3018 of my handsh3709, and rebukedh3198h8686 thee yesternighth570.

43

And Labanh3837 answeredh6030h8799 and saidh559h8799 unto Jacobh3290, These daughtersh1323 are my daughtersh1323, and these childrenh1121 are my childrenh1121, and these cattleh6629 are my cattleh6629, and all that thou seesth7200h8802 is mine: and what can I doh6213h8799 this dayh3117 unto these my daughtersh1323, orh176 unto their childrenh1121 which they have bornh3205h8804?

44

Now therefore come thouh3212h8798, let us makeh3772h8799 a covenanth1285, I and thou; and let it be for a witnessh5707 between me and thee.

45

And Jacobh3290 tookh3947h8799 a stoneh68, and set it uph7311h8686 for a pillarh4676.

46

And Jacobh3290 saidh559h8799 unto his brethrenh251, Gatherh3950h8798 stonesh68; and they tookh3947h8799 stonesh68, and madeh6213h8799 an heaph1530: and they did eath398h8799 there upon the heaph1530.

47

And Labanh3837 calledh7121h8799 it Jegarsahaduthah3026: but Jacobh3290 calledh7121h8804 it Galeedh1567. Jegarsahadutha: that is, The heap of witness, Chaldee

48

And Labanh3837 saidh559h8799, This heaph1530 is a witnessh5707 between me and thee this dayh3117. Therefore was the nameh8034 of it calledh7121h8804 Galeedh1567;

49

And Mizpahh4709; forh834 he saidh559h8804, The LORDh3068 watchh6822h8799 between me and thee, when we are absenth5641h8735 oneh376 from anotherh7453. Mizpah: that is, A beacon, or, watchtower

50

If thou shalt afflicth6031h8762 my daughtersh1323, or if thou shalt takeh3947h8799 other wivesh802 besideh5921 my daughtersh1323, no manh376 is with us; seeh7200h8798, Godh430 is witnessh5707 betwixt me and thee.

51

And Labanh3837 saidh559h8799 to Jacobh3290, Behold this heaph1530, and behold this pillarh4676, which I have casth3384h8804 betwixt me and thee;

52

This heaph1530 be witnessh5707, and this pillarh4676 be witnessh5713, that I will not pass overh5674h8799 this heaph1530 to thee, and that thou shalt not pass overh5674h8799 this heaph1530 and this pillarh4676 unto me, for harmh7451.

53

The Godh430 of Abrahamh85, and the Godh430 of Nahorh5152, the Godh430 of their fatherh1, judgeh8199h8799 betwixt us. And Jacobh3290 swareh7650h8735 by the fearh6343 of his fatherh1 Isaach3327.

54

Then Jacobh3290 offeredh2076h8799 sacrificeh2077 upon the mounth2022, and calledh7121h8799 his brethrenh251 to eath398h8800 breadh3899: and they did eath398h8799 breadh3899, and tarried all nighth3885h8799 in the mounth2022. offered...: or, killed beasts

55

And earlyh7925 in the morningh1242 Labanh3837 rose uph7925h8686, and kissedh5401h8762 his sonsh1121 and his daughtersh1323, and blessedh1288h8762 them: and Labanh3837 departedh3212h8799, and returnedh7725h8799 unto his placeh4725.
