< Genesis 31 >
1 And he heard [the] words of [the] sons of Laban saying he has taken Jacob all that [belonged] to father our and from [that] which [belonged] to father our he has acquired all the abundance this.
2 And he saw Jacob [the] face of Laban and there! not [was] he with him as yesterday three days ago.
3 And he said Yahweh to Jacob return to [the] land of fathers your and to kindred your so I may be with you.
4 And he sent Jacob and he summoned Rachel and Leah the field to flock his.
5 And he said to them [am] seeing I [the] face of father your that not [is] he to me as yesterday three days ago and [the] God of father my he has been with me.
6 And you you know that with all strength my I have served father your.
7 And father your he has deceived me and he has changed wage[s] my ten times and not he has permitted him God to do harm with me.
8 If thus he said speckled [ones] it will be wage[s] your and they bore all the flock speckled [ones] and if thus he said striped [ones] it will be wage[s] your and they bore all the flock striped [ones].
9 And he has taken away God [the] livestock of father your and he has given [it] to me.
10 And it was at [the] time mated the flock and I lifted up eyes my and I saw in a dream and there! the male goats which were going up on the flock [were] striped speckled and mottled.
11 And he said to me [the] angel of God in a dream O Jacob and I said here [am] I.
12 And he said lift up please eyes your and see all the male goats which are going up on the flock [are] striped speckled and mottled for I have seen all that Laban [is] doing to you.
13 I [am] the God of Beth-el where you anointed there a pillar where you vowed to me there a vow now arise go out from the land this and return to [the] land of kindred your.

15 ¿ Not foreigners are we accounted by him for he has sold us and he has consumed also continuously money our.
16 For all the wealth which he has taken away God from father our [belongs] to us it and to children our and therefore all that he has said God to you do.

18 And he drove all livestock his and all possession[s] his which he had accumulated [the] livestock of acquisition his which he had accumulated in Paddan Aram to go to Isaac father his [the] land of towards Canaan.
19 And Laban he had gone to shear sheep his and she stole Rachel the teraphim which [belonged] to father her.
20 And he stole Jacob [the] heart of Laban the Aramean on not he told to him that [was] fleeing he.
21 And he fled he and all that [belonged] to him and he arose and he passed over the river and he set face his [the] hill country of Gilead.
22 And it was told to Laban on the day third that he had fled Jacob.
23 And he took relatives his with him and he pursued after him a journey of seven days and he overtook him in [the] hill country of Gilead.
24 And he came God to Laban the Aramean in [the] dream of the night and he said to him take heed to yourself lest you should speak with Jacob from good unto bad.
25 And he overtook Laban Jacob and Jacob he had pitched tent his in the hill country and Laban he pitched tent with relatives his in [the] hill country of Gilead.
26 And he said Laban to Jacob what? have you done and you have stolen heart my and you have led away daughters my like captives of [the] sword.
27 Why? did you hide yourself to flee and did you steal? me and not did you tell? to me and I sent away you with gladness and with songs with tambourine and with harp.
28 And not did you allow? me to kiss sons my and daughters my now you have behaved foolishly to do.

30 And now certainly you have gone for certainly you longed for [the] household of father your why? did you steal gods my.
31 And he answered Jacob and he said to Laban that I was afraid for I said lest you should tear away daughters your from with me.
32 With [anyone] whom you will find gods your not he will live before relatives our investigate for yourself what? [is] with me and take [it] for yourself and not he knew Jacob that Rachel she had stolen them.
33 And he went Laban in [the] tent of Jacob - and in [the] tent of Leah and in [the] tent of [the] two the maidservants and not he found [them] and he came out from [the] tent of Leah and he went in [the] tent of Rachel.
34 And Rachel she had taken the teraphim and she had put them in [the] saddlebag of the camel and she sat on them and he searched Laban all the tent and not he found [them].
35 And she said to father her may not it burn in [the] eyes of lord my that not I am able to rise from before you for [the] way of women [belongs] to me and he searched and not he found the teraphim.
36 And it burned to Jacob and he quarreled with Laban and he answered Jacob and he said to Laban what? [is] transgression my what? [is] sin my that you have hotly pursued after me.
37 That you have searched all things my what? did you find of all [the] things of household your put [it] thus before relatives my and relatives your so they may decide between [the] two of us.

41 This [belonged] to me twenty year[s] in household your I served you four-teen year[s] for [the] two daughters your and six years for flock[s] your and you changed wage[s] my ten times.
42 If not [the] God of father my [the] God of Abraham and [the] fear of Isaac he had been to me for now empty you sent away me affliction my and ([the] toil of *LB(ah)*) hands my he has seen God and he decided last night.
43 And he answered Laban and he said to Jacob the daughters [are] daughters my and the children [are] children my and the flock [is] flock my and all that you [are] seeing [belongs] to me it and for daughters my what? will I do for these this day or for children their whom they have borne.
44 And therefore come! let us make a covenant I and you and it will become a witness between me and between you.
45 And he took Jacob a stone and he raised up it a pillar.
46 And he said Jacob to relatives his gather stones and they took stones and they made a heap and they ate there at the heap.
47 And he called it Laban Jegar Sahadutha and Jacob he called it Galeed.
48 And he said Laban the heap this [is] a witness between me and between you this day there-fore (he called *LA(bh)*) name its Galeed.
