    10 And it; came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the Prams which leaped upon tho cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.6 11 And the angel of God0 spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: and I said. Here am If 12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen/ all that Laban aoeth unto thee. 13 I am the God of Bcth-el/ where thou anoint edst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return1 unto the land of thy kindred. 14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him. Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house ? 15 Are we not counted of him strangers ? for he hath sold us,* and hath quite de- voured also our money. 16 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is our’s, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. 17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels ;m 18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all liis goods which ho had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan-aram, for to go to Isaac his0 father in the land of Canaan. 19 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the s images * that were her father’s. 20 And Jacob stole away £unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. 21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face* toward the mount Gilead. 22 And it was told Laban on the third day, that Jacob was fled. 23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days’ jour- ney ; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. 24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dreamt by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either v good or bad. 25 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount; and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. 26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away un- awares to me, and carried away my daugh- ters, as captives* taken with the sword? 27 Wherefore didst thou flee away se- cretly, and 0steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs,d with tabret, and with harp ? 28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons/ and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. 29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto mo yesternight, saying, Take tnou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 30 And now, though thou wouldcst needs be gone, because thou sore long- edst after thy father’s house, yet where- B.

For Jacob knew not i that Rachel had stolen them. 33 And Laban went into Jacob’s tent , and into Leah’s tent, and into the twe ! maidservants’ tents; but ho found then.i not. Then went he out of Leah’s tent , and entered into Rachel’s tent. 34 Now Rachel had taken* the images-, and put them in the camel’s furniture and sat upon them. And Laban y search ed all the tent, but found them not. 35 And she said to her father, Let it: not displease my lord that I cannot rise- up-'' before thee; for the custom of wo- men is upon me. And he searched, but; found not the images. 36 And Jacob was wroth,1 and chode- with Laban: and Jacob answered and: said to Laban, What is my trespass r : what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me ? 37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both. 38 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have- not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. 39 That which was torn of beasts 1 brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it;« of my hand didst thou require it,: whether stolen by day, or stolen by night. 40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. 41 Thus have I been twenty years in: thy house; I served thee fourteen* years- for thy two daughters, and six years- for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times. 42 Except0 the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and* the fear of Isaacs had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seem mine affliction1 and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight. 43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day imto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born ? 44 Now, therefore, come thou, let us make a covenant.0 I and thou; and let it be for a witness0 between me and thee. 45 And Jacob took a stone/ and set it up for a pillar. 46 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. 47 And Laban called it * Jegar-saha- dutha: but Jacob called it * Galeed. 48 And Laban said, This heap is a wit- ness between me and thee this day. There- fore was the name of it called Galeed; 49 Aud p Mizpah ;A for he said. The
