Then Jacob put his children and his wives on camels. He drove all his livestock ahead of him. He took all the possessions that he had accumulated. He took his own livestock that he had accumulated in Paddan-aram and went back to his father Isaac in Canaan. When Laban went to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father's household idols. read more.
Jacob also tricked Laban the Aramean by not telling him he was leaving. He left in a hurry with all that belonged to him. He crossed the Euphrates River and went toward the mountains of Gilead.

Jacob took green branches of poplar (storax), almond, and plane trees and stripped off some of the bark so that the branches had white stripes on them. He placed these branches in front of the flocks at their drinking troughs. He put them there, because the animals mated when they came to drink. So when the goats bred in front of the branches, they produced young that were streaked, speckled, and spotted. read more.
Jacob kept the sheep separate from the goats and made them face in the direction of the streaked and black animals of Laban's flock. In this way he built up his own flock and kept it apart from Laban's. When the strongest of the flock were mating, Jacob would place the rods in the sight of the flock in the gutters, so that they might mate by the rods. When the flock was feeble, he did not put them in. That way the feebler were Laban's and the stronger Jacob's. He became exceedingly prosperous, and had large flocks and female and male servants and camels and donkeys.

Jacob heard that Laban's sons were saying: Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father. He has gained all his wealth from him. He also noticed that Laban did not appear as friendly to him as before. Jehovah said to Jacob: Go back to the land of your ancestors and to your relatives. I will be with you. read more.
Then Jacob sent a message to Rachel and Leah to come out to the open country where his flocks were. He said to them: I have seen that your father's attitude toward me is not as friendly as before. The God of my father has been with me. You both know that I have worked for your father with all my strength. Yet he has cheated me. He changed my wages ten times. However, God did not let him harm me. When Laban said, 'The speckled goats shall be your wages,' all the flocks produced speckled young. When he said, 'The striped goats shall be your wages,' all the flocks produced striped young. This way God has taken sheep and goats from your father and given them to me. Once, when the flocks were mating, I dreamed that all the rams were either spotted or speckled. Then the angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob.' I said, here I am. He said, 'Look up and see, now (please), that all the male goats that are mating are striped, speckled, or spotted, because I have seen everything that Laban is doing to you. I am the God of Bethel. That is where you anointed a pillar and made a vow to me. Arise and leave this land. Return to the land of your birth.' Rachel and Leah asked: Do we still have any portion or inheritance in our father's house? Are we not accounted as foreigners by him? He sold us and also utterly consumed the price paid for us. For all the riches that God took away from our father belong to us and to our children. Do what God told you to do. Then Jacob put his children and his wives on camels. He drove all his livestock ahead of him. He took all the possessions that he had accumulated. He took his own livestock that he had accumulated in Paddan-aram and went back to his father Isaac in Canaan. When Laban went to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father's household idols. Jacob also tricked Laban the Aramean by not telling him he was leaving. He left in a hurry with all that belonged to him. He crossed the Euphrates River and went toward the mountains of Gilead.

So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent, and into the tents of the two servant-women, but they were not there. He left Leah's tent and went into Rachel's. Rachel took the images. She put them in the camels' basket and was seated on them. Laban searched through the tent and did not find them. Rachel said to her father: Do not be angry, Father, but I cannot get up to greet you. I am having my period. So even though Laban had made a thorough search, he did not find the idols.
