And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and he has gotten all this glory from that which was our father's.

But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put them in. And usually it came to be, the weak ones were Laban's and the stronger ones Jacob's.

And he set three days' journey between himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.

And it happened when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, then Jacob went near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flocks of Laban his mother's brother.

And it happened when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.

And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. And Laban ran out to the man, to the well.

And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped, and all the black in the flock of Laban. And he put his own flocks by themselves, and did not put them with the flock of Laban.

Then Laban overtook Jacob. And Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount. And Laban with his brothers pitched in Mount Gilead.

And Jacob was angry, and rebuked Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have so hotly pursued after me?

And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. And Laban departed and returned to his place.

And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tents of the two slave women, and he did not find. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.

Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father. And take a wife from there of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.

And Laban went to shear his sheep. And Rachel had stolen the images which were her father's.

And Rachel had taken the images and put them into the camel's saddle, and sat on them. And Laban searched all the tent, but did not find them.

And Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing has come forth from Jehovah. We cannot speak to you bad or good.

And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.

And now, my son, obey my voice and arise. Flee for yourself to my brother Laban, to Haran,

And Isaac sent Jacob away. And he went to Padan-aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

And he said to them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.

And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And he stayed with him for a month.

And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother, should you then serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall be your wages?

And Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

And Laban said, It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.

And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, so that I may go in to her.

And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

And Laban gave Zilpah his slave woman to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.

And it happened in the morning, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you tricked me?

And Laban said, It must not be done so in our country, to give the younger before the first-born.

And Laban gave Bilhah his slave woman to his daughter Rachel, to be her handmaid.

And when Rachel had borne Joseph, it happened that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away so that I may go into my own place and to my country.

And Laban said to him, Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, stay. For I have seen omens, that Jehovah has blessed me for your sake.

And Laban said, Yes, truly let it be according to your word.

And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.

And He said, Lift up your eyes and see all the rams which leap upon the cattle, that they are striped, speckled, and mottled. For I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.

And Jacob deceived the heart of Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled.

It was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.

And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Take heed that you do not speak either good or bad to Jacob.

And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done, that you have deceived my heart and carried away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?

And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid, for I said, Perhaps you would take your daughters away from me by force.

And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flocks my flocks. All that you see is mine. And what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their sons which they have borne?

And Laban called it in Syrian, Heap of the Testimony, and Jacob called it in Hebrew, Heap of Testimony.

And Laban said, This heap is a witness between you and me this day. Therefore the name of it was called Heap of Testimony,

And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have set up between you and me.

And he commanded them, saying, So shall you speak to my lord Esau: Your servant Jacob says thus, I have lived with Laban and stayed until now.

These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these whom she bore to Jacob, sixteen souls.

These were the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and she bore these to Jacob. All the souls were seven.

And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. And he went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and lived there.

And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived then in the land.

And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and all his goods, and went away.
