Genesis 31:13-23

13 I'm the God of Bethel where you consecrated a pillar and made a vow to me. Now be on your way, get out of this place, go home to your birthplace.'"
14 Rachel and Leah said, "Has he treated us any better?
15 Aren't we treated worse than outsiders? All he wanted was the money he got from selling us, and he's spent all that.
16 Any wealth that God has seen fit to return to us from our father is justly ours and our children's. Go ahead. Do what God told you."
17 Jacob did it. He put his children and his wives on camels
18 and gathered all his livestock and everything he had gotten, everything acquired in Paddan Aram, to go back home to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.
19 Laban was off shearing sheep. Rachel stole her father's household gods.
20 And Jacob had concealed his plans so well that Laban the Aramean had no idea what was going on - he was totally in the dark.
21 Jacob got away with everything he had and was soon across the Euphrates headed for the hill country of Gilead.
22 Three days later, Laban got the news: "Jacob's run off."
23 Laban rounded up his relatives and chased after him. Seven days later they caught up with him in the hill country of Gilead.
