Jacob heard Laban’s sons’ words, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s. He has obtained all this wealth from that which was our father’s.” Ecc 4:41Pe 1:241Ti 6:4Est 5:11Ezk 16:44Gen 31:8-9Gen 45:13Isa 5:14 Jacob saw the expression on Laban’s face, and, behold, it was not toward him as before. Dan 3:191Sa 18:9-11Gen 4:51Sa 19:7Gen 30:27Deu 19:4Deu 28:54Exo 4:10 The LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you.” Gen 28:15Gen 32:9Heb 13:5Gen 31:13Isa 41:10Psa 50:15Gen 21:22Gen 13:15
Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock, and said to them, “I see the expression on your father’s face, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me. Gen 31:2-3Gen 31:42Gen 31:53Gen 48:15Gen 32:9Gen 50:17Gen 21:22Gen 31:13 You know that I have served your father with all of my strength. Gen 30:29Eph 6:5-8Col 3:22-25Gen 31:38-42Tit 2:9-101Pe 2:18 Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God didn’t allow him to hurt me. Gen 31:29Gen 31:41Neh 4:12Num 14:22Psa 37:28Zec 8:23Gen 20:6Isa 4:1 If he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore speckled. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore streaked. Gen 30:32 Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock, and given them to me. Gen 31:1Gen 31:16Pro 13:22Est 8:1-2Mat 20:15Psa 50:10 During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled. Deu 13:11Ki 3:5Gen 20:6Gen 28:12Gen 30:39Gen 31:24Num 12:6 The angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’ Gen 31:13Isa 58:91Sa 3:161Sa 3:41Sa 3:61Sa 3:8Exo 3:4Gen 18:17 He said, ‘Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you. Exo 3:7Deu 24:15Gen 31:42Act 7:34Ecc 5:8Eph 6:9Exo 3:9Gen 30:37-43 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.’” Gen 31:3Gen 32:9Gen 28:12-22Gen 35:7
Rachel and Leah answered him, “Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house? Gen 2:24Rut 4:11Gen 29:24Gen 29:29 Aren’t we considered as foreigners by him? For he has sold us, and has also used up our money. Gen 29:15-20Exo 21:7-11Gen 29:27-30Gen 30:26Gen 31:41Neh 5:8 For all the riches which God has taken away from our father are ours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do.” Gen 30:35Gen 31:9Psa 45:10
Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels, 1Sa 30:17Gen 24:10Gen 24:61 and he took away all his livestock, and all his possessions which he had gathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan. Gen 27:1-2Gen 27:41Gen 28:21Gen 35:27-29 Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole the teraphim 1 that were her father’s. 1Sa 19:13Gen 31:30Hos 3:4Ezk 21:21Gen 35:2Gen 31:32Gen 31:34Jdg 17:4-5
Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away. So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead. 2Ki 12:171Ki 17:1Deu 3:12Gen 15:18Gen 2:14Gen 31:23Gen 37:25Gen 46:28
Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled. Exo 14:5-31Gen 30:36Job 5:12-13 He took his relatives with him, and pursued him seven days’ journey. He overtook him in the mountain of Gilead. Exo 2:11Exo 2:13Gen 13:8Gen 24:27 God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.” Gen 24:50Gen 20:3Gen 31:29Gen 31:42Num 24:132Sa 13:22Mat 27:191Ki 3:5
Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain of Gilead. Gen 12:8Gen 33:18Heb 11:9 Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword? 1Sa 30:21Sa 14:431Sa 17:29Gen 12:18Gen 2:24Gen 20:9-10Gen 26:10Gen 3:13 Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp; Exo 15:20Gen 24:59-60Gen 31:20-21Gen 31:3-5Gen 31:31Gen 4:21Jdg 6:27Job 21:11-14 and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly. Gen 31:551Ki 19:20Act 20:37Rut 1:141Co 2:141Sa 13:132Ch 16:9Exo 4:27 It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.’ Gen 31:42Gen 31:53Gen 28:13Gen 31:24Jos 24:2-32Ki 19:10Act 5:38-39Act 9:5 Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you stolen my gods?” Jer 10:11Gen 31:19Jdg 18:241Sa 5:2-62Sa 5:21Exo 12:12Isa 37:19Isa 46:1-2
Jacob answered Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, ‘Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.’ Pro 29:25Gen 20:11Gen 31:26-27 Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it.” For Jacob didn’t know that Rachel had stolen them. 1Sa 12:3-5Gen 31:19Gen 31:23Gen 31:30Gen 44:9-121Sa 14:24-292Co 12:17-192Co 8:20-21
Laban went into Jacob’s tent, into Leah’s tent, and into the tent of the two female servants; but he didn’t find them. He went out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent. Gen 24:28Gen 24:67 Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt around all the tent, but didn’t find them. Gen 31:19Gen 31:17 She said to her father, “Don’t let my lord be angry that I can’t rise up before you; for I’m having my period.” He searched, but didn’t find the teraphim. Lev 19:32Exo 20:121Ki 2:191Pe 2:181Pe 3:6Eph 6:1Gen 18:11-12Lev 15:19
Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me? Eph 4:262Ki 13:192Ki 5:11Gen 30:2Gen 34:7Gen 49:7Jas 1:19-20Mrk 3:5 Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between us two. 1Pe 2:121Co 6:4-51Sa 12:3-41Th 2:10Gen 31:32Heb 13:18Jos 7:23Mat 18:16
“These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I haven’t eaten the rams of your flocks. Deu 28:4Exo 23:26Ezk 34:2-4Gen 30:27Gen 30:30 That which was torn of animals, I didn’t bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night. Exo 22:10-13Exo 22:31Lev 22:8Luk 2:81Sa 17:34-35Jhn 10:12-13 This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes. 1Pe 5:2-4Exo 2:19-22Exo 3:1Heb 13:7Hos 12:12Jhn 21:15-17Luk 2:8Psa 78:70-71 These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times. Gen 31:71Co 15:102Co 11:26Gen 29:18-30Gen 30:33-40Gen 31:38 Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.” Psa 31:7Isa 8:13Gen 31:29Gen 31:53Exo 3:7Gen 29:32Gen 31:24Psa 124:1-3
Laban answered Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine! What can I do today to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne? Now come, let’s make a covenant, you and I. Let it be for a witness between me and you.” 1Sa 20:14-17Jos 24:25-27Deu 31:19Deu 31:21Deu 31:26Gen 15:18Gen 21:22-32Gen 26:28-31
Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. Gen 28:18-22 Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” They took stones, and made a heap. They ate there by the heap. Ecc 3:52Sa 18:17Gen 31:23Gen 31:32Gen 31:37Gen 31:54Jos 4:20-24Jos 4:5-9 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, 2 but Jacob called it Galeed. 3 Heb 12:1 Laban said, “This heap is witness between me and you today.” Therefore it was named Galeed Jos 24:27Deu 2:36Deu 3:16Gen 31:23Jos 13:8-9 and Mizpah, for he said, “The LORD watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another. Jdg 11:29Jdg 10:171Sa 7:5-61Ki 15:22Hos 5:1Jdg 11:11 If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives in addition to my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.” Jer 42:5Jer 29:23Jdg 11:10Mic 1:21Sa 12:51Th 2:5Lev 18:18Mal 2:14 Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you. May this heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm. Gen 31:48Gen 31:44-45 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father, Isaac. Gen 31:42Gen 16:5Exo 3:6Gen 11:24-29Jos 24:2Deu 6:13Gen 11:31Gen 14:22 Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread. They ate bread, and stayed all night in the mountain. Exo 18:122Sa 3:20-21Gen 21:8Gen 26:30Gen 37:25 Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place. Gen 31:28Deu 23:5Gen 18:33Gen 30:25Act 28:4-5Deu 32:36Gen 24:60Gen 28:1
