Genesis 31:15-25

15 He has treated us like strangers. He sold us to you, and then he spent all of the money you paid for us.
16 God took all this wealth from our father, and now it belongs to us and our children. So do whatever God has told you to do."
17 So Jacob put his children and his wives on camels,
18 and they began their journey back to Isaac, his father, in the land of Canaan. All the flocks of animals that Jacob owned walked ahead of them. He carried everything with him that he had gotten while he lived in Northwest Mesopotamia.
19 While Laban was gone to cut the wool from his sheep, Rachel stole the idols that belonged to him.
20 And Jacob tricked Laban the Aramean by not telling him he was leaving.
21 Jacob and his family left quickly, crossed the Euphrates River, and traveled toward the mountains of Gilead.
22 Three days later Laban learned that Jacob had run away,
23 so he gathered his relatives and began to chase him. After seven days Laban found him in the mountains of Gilead.
24 That night God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream and said, "Be careful! Do not say anything to Jacob, good or bad."
25 So Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had made his camp in the mountains, so Laban and his relatives set up their camp in the mountains of Gilead.
