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 animadvertit quoque faciem Laban, quod non esset erga se sicut heri et nudiustertius,
And he saw Jacob [the] face of Laban and there! not [was] he with him as yesterday three days ago.
3 maxime dicente sibi Domino: Revertere in terram patrum tuorum, et ad generationem tuam, eroque tecum.
And he said Yahweh to Jacob return to [the] land of fathers your and to kindred your so I may be with you.
4 Misit, et vocavit Rachel et Liam in agrum, ubi pascebat greges,
And he sent Jacob and he summoned Rachel and Leah the field to flock his.
5 dixitque eis: Video faciem patris vestri quod non sit erga me sicut heri, et nudiustertius: Deus autem patris mei fuit mecum.

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].

32 Quod autem furti me arguis: apud quemcumque inveneris deos tuos, necetur coram fratribus nostris. scrutare, quidquid tuorum apud me inveneris, et aufer. haec dicens, ignorabat quod Rachel furata esset idola.
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 Ingressus itaque Laban tabernaculum Iacob et Liae, et utriusque famulae, non invenit. Cumque intrasset tentorium Rachelis,
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.

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].

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.
