וַיֹּאמֶר, שָׂא-נָא עֵינֶיךָ וּרְאֵה כָּל-הָעַתֻּדִים הָעֹלִים עַל-הַצֹּאן, עֲקֻדִּים נְקֻדִּים, וּבְרֻדִּים: כִּי רָאִיתִי, אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר לָבָן עֹשֶׂה לָּךְ. אָנֹכִי הָאֵל, בֵּית-אֵל, אֲשֶׁר מָשַׁחְתָּ שָּׁם מַצֵּבָה, אֲשֶׁר נָדַרְתָּ לִּי שָׁם נֶדֶר; עַתָּה, קוּם צֵא מִן-הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת, וְשׁוּב, אֶל-אֶרֶץ מוֹלַדְתֶּךָ. וַתַּעַן רָחֵל וְלֵאָה, וַתֹּאמַרְנָה לוֹ: הַעוֹד לָנוּ חֵלֶק וְנַחֲלָה, בְּבֵית אָבִינוּ. הֲלוֹא נָכְרִיּוֹת נֶחְשַׁבְנוּ לוֹ, כִּי מְכָרָנוּ; וַיֹּאכַל גַּם-אָכוֹל, אֶת-כַּסְפֵּנוּ. כִּי כָל-הָעֹשֶׁר, אֲשֶׁר הִצִּיל אֱלֹהִים מֵאָבִינוּ--לָנוּ הוּא, וּלְבָנֵינוּ; וְעַתָּה, כֹּל אֲשֶׁר אָמַר אֱלֹהִים אֵלֶיךָ--עֲשֵׂה. וַיָּקָם, יַעֲקֹב; וַיִּשָּׂא אֶת-בָּנָיו וְאֶת-נָשָׁיו, עַל-הַגְּמַלִּים. וַיִּנְהַג אֶת-כָּל-מִקְנֵהוּ. וְלָבָן הָלַךְ, לִגְזֹז אֶת-צֹאנוֹ; וַתִּגְנֹב רָחֵל, אֶת-הַתְּרָפִים אֲשֶׁר לְאָבִיהָ. וַיִּגְנֹב יַעֲקֹב, אֶת-לֵב לָבָן הָאֲרַמִּי--עַל-בְּלִי הִגִּיד לוֹ, כִּי בֹרֵחַ הוּא. וַיִּבְרַח הוּא וְכָל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ, וַיָּקָם וַיַּעֲבֹר אֶת-הַנָּהָר; וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת-פָּנָיו, הַר הַגִּלְעָד. וַיֻּגַּד לְלָבָן, בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי: כִּי בָרַח, יַעֲקֹב. וַיִּקַּח אֶת-אֶחָיו, עִמּוֹ, וַיִּרְדֹּף אַחֲרָיו, דֶּרֶךְ שִׁבְעַת יָמִים; וַיַּדְבֵּק אֹתוֹ, בְּהַר הַגִּלְעָד. וַיָּבֹא אֱלֹהִים אֶל-לָבָן הָאֲרַמִּי, בַּחֲלֹם הַלָּיְלָה; וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ, הִשָּׁמֶר לְךָ פֶּן-תְּדַבֵּר עִם-יַעֲקֹב--מִטּוֹב עַד-רָע. וַיַּשֵּׂג לָבָן, אֶת-יַעֲקֹב; וְיַעֲקֹב, תָּקַע אֶת-אָהֳלוֹ בָּהָר, וְלָבָן תָּקַע אֶת-אֶחָיו, בְּהַר הַגִּלְעָד
And he said, 'Raise your eyes, if you please, and see that all the he-goats mounting the flocks are ringed, speckled, and checkered, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you. I am the God of Bethel where you anointed a pillar and where you made Me a vow. Now — arise, leave this land and return to your native land.' " Then Rachel and Leah replied and said to him, "Have we then still a share and an inheritance in our father's house? Are we not considered by him as strangers? For he has sold us and even totally consumed our money. But, all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children; so now, whatever God has said to you, do." Jacob arose and lifted his children and his wives onto the camels, and he led away all his livestock. Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole the teraphim that belonged to her father. Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was fleeing. It was told to Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled. So he took his kinsmen with him and pursued him a distance of seven days, catching up with him on Mount Gilead. But God had come to Laban the Aramean in a dream by night and said to him, "Beware lest you speak with Jacob either good or bad." Laban overtook Jacob. Jacob had pitched his tent on the mountain, while Laban had stationed his kinsmen on Mount Gilead. Thus, he fled with all he had. He arose and crossed the river, and he set up with his brothers on Mount Gilead.
