Genesis 31:1--32:1

31:1

And he heard
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

of Laban's
<03837>

sons
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Jacob
<03290>

hath taken away
<03947> (8804)

all that [was] our father's
<01>_;

and of [that] which [was] our father's
<01>

hath he gotten
<06213> (8804)

all this glory
<03519>_.

31:2

And Jacob
<03290>

beheld
<07200> (8799)

the countenance
<06440>

of Laban
<03837>_,

and, behold, it [was] not toward him as
<08543>

before
<08032>_.

{as before: Heb. as yesterday and the day before}

31:3

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

Return
<07725> (8798)

unto the land
<0776>

of thy fathers
<01>_,

and to thy kindred
<04138>_;

and I will be with thee.

31:4

And Jacob
<03290>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

Rachel
<07354>

and Leah
<03812>

to the field
<07704>

unto his flock
<06629>_,

31:5

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I see
<07200> (8802)

your father's
<01>

countenance
<06440>_,

that it [is] not toward me as
<08543>

before
<08032>_;

but the God
<0430>

of my father
<01>

hath been
<01961> (8804)

with me.

31:6

And ye
<0859>

know
<03045> (8804)

that with all my power
<03581>

I have served
<05647> (8804)

your father
<01>_.

31:7

And your father
<01>

hath deceived
<02048> (8765)

me, and changed
<02498> (8689)

my wages
<04909>

ten
<06235>

times
<04489>_;

but God
<0430>

suffered him
<05414> (8804)

not to hurt
<07489> (8687)

me
<05978>_.

31:8

If he said
<0559> (8799)

thus, The speckled
<05348>

shall be thy wages
<07939>_;

then all the cattle
<06629>

bare
<03205> (8804)

speckled
<05348>_:

and if he said
<0559> (8799)

thus, The ringstraked
<06124>

shall be thy hire
<07939>_;

then bare
<03205> (8804)

all the cattle
<06629>

ringstraked
<06124>_.

31:9

Thus God
<0430>

hath taken away
<05337> (8686)

the cattle
<04735>

of your father
<01>_,

and given
<05414> (8799)

[them] to me.

31:10

And it came to pass at the time
<06256>

that the cattle
<06629>

conceived
<03179> (8763)_,

that I lifted up
<05375> (8799)

mine eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

in a dream
<02472>_,

and, behold, the rams
<06260>

which leaped
<05927> (8802)

upon the cattle
<06629>

[were] ringstraked
<06124>_,

speckled
<05348>_,

and grisled
<01261>_.

{rams: or, he goats}

31:11

And the angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto me in a dream
<02472>_,

[saying], Jacob
<03290>_:

And I said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I.

31:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lift up
<05375> (8798)

now thine eyes
<05869>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)_,

all the rams
<06260>

which leap
<05927> (8802)

upon the cattle
<06629>

[are] ringstraked
<06124>_,

speckled
<05348>_,

and grisled
<01261>_:

for I have seen
<07200> (8804)

all that Laban
<03837>

doeth
<06213> (8802)

unto thee.

31:13

I [am] the God
<0410>

of Bethel
<01008>_,

where thou anointedst
<04886> (8804)

the pillar
<04676>_,

[and] where thou vowedst
<05087> (8804)

a vow
<05088>

unto me: now arise
<06965> (8798)_,

get thee out
<03318> (8798)

from this land
<0776>_,

and return
<07725> (8798)

unto the land
<0776>

of thy kindred
<04138>_.

31:14

And Rachel
<07354>

and Leah
<03812>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Is there] yet any portion
<02506>

or inheritance
<05159>

for us in our father's
<01>

house
<01004>_?

31:15

Are we not counted
<02803> (8738)

of him strangers
<05237>_?

for he hath sold
<04376> (8804)

us, and hath quite
<0398> (8800)

devoured
<0398> (8799)

also our money
<03701>_.

31:16

For all the riches
<06239>

which God
<0430>

hath taken
<05337> (8689)

from our father
<01>_,

that [is] ours, and our children's
<01121>_:

now then, whatsoever God
<0430>

hath said
<0559> (8804)

unto thee, do
<06213> (8798)_.

31:17

Then Jacob
<03290>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and set
<05375> (8799)

his sons
<01121>

and his wives
<0802>

upon camels
<01581>_;

31:18

And he carried away
<05090> (8799)

all his cattle
<04735>_,

and all his goods
<07399>

which he had gotten
<07408> (8804)_,

the cattle
<04735>

of his getting
<07075>_,

which he had gotten
<07408> (8804)

in Padanaram
<06307>_,

for to go
<0935> (8800)

to Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_.

31:19

And Laban
<03837>

went
<01980> (8804)

to shear
<01494> (8800)

his sheep
<06629>_:

and Rachel
<07354>

had stolen
<01589> (8799)

the images
<08655>

that [were] her father's
<01>_.

{images: Heb. teraphim}

31:20

And Jacob
<03290>

stole away
<01589> (8799)

unawares
<03820>

to Laban
<03837>

the Syrian
<0761>_,

in that
<05921>

he told
<05046> (8689)

him not
<01097>

that he fled
<01272> (8802)_.

{unawares...: Heb. the heart of Laban}

31:21

So he fled
<01272> (8799)

with all that he had; and he rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)

the river
<05104>_,

and set
<07760> (8799)

his face
<06440>

[toward] the mount
<02022>

Gilead
<01568>_.

31:22

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Laban
<03837>

on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>

that Jacob
<03290>

was fled
<01272> (8804)_.

31:23

And he took
<03947> (8799)

his brethren
<0251>

with him, and pursued
<07291> (8799)

after him
<0310>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_'

journey
<01870>_;

and they overtook
<01692> (8686)

him in the mount
<02022>

Gilead
<01568>_.

31:24

And God
<0430>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Laban
<03837>

the Syrian
<0761>

in a dream
<02472>

by night
<03915>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Take heed
<08104> (8734)

that thou speak
<01696> (8762)

not to
<05973>

Jacob
<03290>

either good
<02896>

or
<05704>

bad
<07451>_.

{either...: Heb. from good to bad}

31:25

Then Laban
<03837>

overtook
<05381> (8686)

Jacob
<03290>_.

Now Jacob
<03290>

had pitched
<08628> (8804)

his tent
<0168>

in the mount
<02022>_:

and Laban
<03837>

with his brethren
<0251>

pitched
<08628> (8804)

in the mount
<02022>

of Gilead
<01568>_.

31:26

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Jacob
<03290>_,

What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)_,

that thou hast stolen away
<01589> (8799)

unawares
<03824>

to me, and carried away
<05090> (8762)

my daughters
<01323>_,

as captives
<07617> (8803)

[taken] with the sword
<02719>_?

31:27

Wherefore didst thou flee away
<01272> (8800)

secretly
<02244> (8738)_,

and steal away
<01589> (8799)

from me; and didst not tell
<05046> (8689)

me, that I might have sent thee away
<07971> (8762)

with mirth
<08057>_,

and with songs
<07892>_,

with tabret
<08596>_,

and with harp
<03658>_?

{steal...: Heb. hast stolen me}

31:28

And hast not suffered
<05203> (8804)

me to kiss
<05401> (8763)

my sons
<01121>

and my daughters
<01323>_?

thou hast now done foolishly
<05528> (8689)

in [so] doing
<06213> (8800)_.

31:29

It is
<03426>

in the power
<0410>

of my hand
<03027>

to do
<06213> (8800)

you hurt
<07451>_:

but the God
<0430>

of your father
<01>

spake
<0559> (8804)

unto me yesternight
<0570>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Take thou heed
<08104> (8734)

that thou speak not
<01696> (8763)

to Jacob
<03290>

either good
<02896>

or bad
<07451>_.

31:30

And now, [though] thou wouldest needs
<01980> (8800)

be gone
<01980> (8804)_,

because thou sore
<03700> (8736)

longedst
<03700> (8738)

after thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

[yet] wherefore hast thou stolen
<01589> (8804)

my gods
<0430>_?

31:31

And Jacob
<03290>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Laban
<03837>_,

Because I was afraid
<03372> (8804)_:

for I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Peradventure
<06435>

thou wouldest take by force
<01497> (8799)

thy daughters
<01323>

from me.

31:32

With whomsoever
<0834>

thou findest
<04672> (8799)

thy gods
<0430>_,

let him not live
<02421> (8799)_:

before
<05048>

our brethren
<0251>

discern
<05234> (8685)

thou what [is] thine with me, and take
<03947> (8798)

[it] to thee. For Jacob
<03290>

knew
<03045> (8804)

not that Rachel
<07354>

had stolen
<01589> (8804)

them.

31:33

And Laban
<03837>

went
<0935> (8799)

into Jacob's
<03290>

tent
<0168>_,

and into Leah's
<03812>

tent
<0168>_,

and into the two
<08147>

maidservants
<0519>_'

tents
<0168>_;

but he found
<04672> (8804)

[them] not. Then went he out
<03318> (8799)

of Leah's
<03812>

tent
<0168>_,

and entered
<0935> (8799)

into Rachel's
<07354>

tent
<0168>_.

31:34

Now Rachel
<07354>

had taken
<03947> (8804)

the images
<08655>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

them in the camel's
<01581>

furniture
<03733>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

upon them. And Laban
<03837>

searched
<04959> (8762)

all the tent
<0168>_,

but found
<04672> (8804)

[them] not. {searched: Heb. felt}

31:35

And she said
<0559> (8799)

to her father
<01>_,

Let it not displease
<02734> (8799) <05869>

my lord
<0113>

that I cannot
<03201> (8799)

rise up
<06965> (8800)

before thee
<06440>_;

for the custom
<01870>

of women
<0802>

[is] upon me. And he searched
<02664> (8762)_,

but found
<04672> (8804)

not the images
<08655>_.

31:36

And Jacob
<03290>

was wroth
<02734> (8799)_,

and chode
<07378> (8799)

with Laban
<03837>_:

and Jacob
<03290>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Laban
<03837>_,

What [is] my trespass
<06588>_?

what [is] my sin
<02403>_,

that thou hast so hotly pursued
<01814> (8804)

after me
<0310>_?

31:37

Whereas
<03588>

thou hast searched
<04959> (8765)

all my stuff
<03627>_,

what hast thou found
<04672> (8804)

of all thy household
<01004>

stuff
<03627>_?

set
<07760> (8798)

[it] here
<03541>

before my brethren
<0251>

and thy brethren
<0251>_,

that they may judge
<03198> (8686)

betwixt
<0996>

us both
<08147>_.

{searched: Heb. felt}

31:38

This twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

[have] I [been] with thee; thy ewes
<07353>

and thy she goats
<05795>

have not cast their young
<07921> (8765)_,

and the rams
<0352>

of thy flock
<06629>

have I not eaten
<0398> (8804)_.

31:39

That which was torn
<02966>

[of beasts] I brought
<0935> (8689)

not unto thee; I bare the loss
<02398> (8762)

of it; of my hand
<03027>

didst thou require
<01245> (8762)

it, [whether] stolen
<01589> (8803)

by day
<03117>_,

or stolen
<01589> (8803)

by night
<03915>_.

31:40

[Thus] I was; in the day
<03117>

the drought
<02721>

consumed
<0398> (8804)

me, and the frost
<07140>

by night
<03915>_;

and my sleep
<08142>

departed
<05074> (8799)

from mine eyes
<05869>_.

31:41

Thus have I been twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

in thy house
<01004>_;

I served thee
<05647> (8804)

fourteen
<0702> <06240>

years
<08141>

for thy two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_,

and six
<08337>

years
<08141>

for thy cattle
<06629>_:

and thou hast changed
<02498> (8686)

my wages
<04909>

ten
<06235>

times
<04489>_.

31:42

Except
<03884>

the God
<0430>

of my father
<01>_,

the God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

and the fear
<06343>

of Isaac
<03327>_,

had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away
<07971> (8765)

now empty
<07387>_.

God
<0430>

hath seen
<07200> (8804)

mine affliction
<06040>

and the labour
<03018>

of my hands
<03709>_,

and rebuked
<03198> (8686)

[thee] yesternight
<0570>_.

31:43

And Laban
<03837>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

[These] daughters
<01323>

[are] my daughters
<01323>_,

and [these] children
<01121>

[are] my children
<01121>_,

and [these] cattle
<06629>

[are] my cattle
<06629>_,

and all that thou seest
<07200> (8802)

[is] mine: and what can I do
<06213> (8799)

this day
<03117>

unto these my daughters
<01323>_,

or
<0176>

unto their children
<01121>

which they have born
<03205> (8804)_?

31:44

Now therefore come thou
<03212> (8798)_,

let us make
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>_,

I and thou; and let it be for a witness
<05707>

between me and thee.

31:45

And Jacob
<03290>

took
<03947> (8799)

a stone
<068>_,

and set it up
<07311> (8686)

[for] a pillar
<04676>_.

31:46

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

Gather
<03950> (8798)

stones
<068>_;

and they took
<03947> (8799)

stones
<068>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

an heap
<01530>_:

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)

there upon the heap
<01530>_.

31:47

And Laban
<03837>

called
<07121> (8799)

it Jegarsahadutha
<03026>_:

but Jacob
<03290>

called
<07121> (8804)

it Galeed
<01567>_.

{Jegarsahadutha: that is, The heap of witness, Chaldee} {Galeed: that is, The heap of witness, Heb.}

31:48

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

This heap
<01530>

[is] a witness
<05707>

between me and thee this day
<03117>_.

Therefore was the name
<08034>

of it called
<07121> (8804)

Galeed
<01567>_;

31:49

And Mizpah
<04709>_;

for

or if thou shalt take
<03947> (8799)

[other] wives
<0802>

this heap
<01530>

to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over
