18And sending on before him all his cattle and his property which he had got together in Paddan-aram, he made ready to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
19Now Laban had gone to see to the cutting of the wool of his sheep; so Rachel secretly took the images of the gods of her father's house.
20And Jacob went away secretly, without giving news of his flight to Laban the Aramaean.
21So he went away with all he had, and went across the River in the direction of the hill-country of Gilead.
22And on the third day Laban had news of Jacob's flight.
23And taking the men of his family with him, he went after him for seven days and overtook him in the hill-country of Gilead.
24Then God came to Laban in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.
