1 And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s hath he gotten all this glory. 10 I View Tool

2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before. 10 I View Tool

3 And the Lord said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. 10 I View Tool

4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, 10 I View Tool

5 And said unto them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me. 10 I View Tool

6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. 10 I View Tool

7 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me. 10 I View Tool

8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked. 10 I View Tool

9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me. 10 I View Tool

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 rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled. 10 I View Tool

11 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I. 10 I View Tool

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 doeth unto thee. 10 I View Tool

13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred. 10 I View Tool

14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house? 10 I View Tool

15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money. 10 I View Tool

16 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. 10 I View Tool

17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; 10 I View Tool

18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan. 10 I View Tool

19 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father’s. 10 I View Tool

20 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. 10 I View Tool

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. 10 I View Tool

22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. 10 I View Tool

23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. 10 I View Tool

24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 10 I View Tool

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. 10 I View Tool

26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword? 10 I View Tool

27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp? 10 I View Tool

28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. 10 I View Tool

29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 10 I View Tool

30 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father’s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? 10 I View Tool

31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. 10 I View Tool

32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. 10 I View Tool

33 And Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the two maidservants’ tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent. 10 I View Tool

34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not. 10 I View Tool

35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched but found not the images. 10 I View Tool

36 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? 10 I View Tool

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. 10 I View Tool

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. 10 I View Tool

39 That which was torn of beasts I 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. 9 I View Tool

40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. 10 I View Tool

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. 10 I View Tool

42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight. 10 I View Tool

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 unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born? 10 I View Tool

44 Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. 10 I View Tool

45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. 10 I View Tool

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. 10 I View Tool

47 And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. 10 I View Tool

48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; 10 I View Tool

49 And Mizpah; for he said, The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. 10 I View Tool

50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee. 10 I View Tool

51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee: 10 I View Tool

52 This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm. 10 I View Tool

53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac. 10 I View Tool

54 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount. 10 I View Tool

55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place. 10 I View Tool

1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 10 I View Tool

2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim. 10 I View Tool

3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom. 10 I View Tool

4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now: 10 I View Tool

5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight. 10 I View Tool

6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. 10 I View Tool

7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands; 10 I View Tool

8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape. 10 I View Tool

9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee: 10 I View Tool

10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands. 10 I View Tool

11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children. 10 I View Tool

12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. 10 I View Tool

13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother; 10 I View Tool

14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, 10 I View Tool

15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals. 10 I View Tool

16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove. 10 I View Tool

17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee? 10 I View Tool

18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us. 10 I View Tool

19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him. 10 I View Tool

20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me. 10 I View Tool

21 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company. 10 I View Tool

22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. 10 I View Tool

23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. 10 I View Tool

24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 10 I View Tool

25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 10 I View Tool

26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 12 I View Tool

27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. 10 I View Tool

28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. 12 I View Tool

29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. 12 I View Tool

30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. 12 I View Tool

31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. 10 I View Tool

32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank. 10 I View Tool

1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids. 10 I View Tool

2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. 10 I View Tool

3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. 10 I View Tool

4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. 10 I View Tool

5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant. 10 I View Tool

6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. 10 I View Tool

7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. 10 I View Tool

8 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord. 10 I View Tool

9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself. 10 I View Tool

10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. 10 I View Tool

11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it. 12 I View Tool

12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee. 10 I View Tool

13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. 10 I View Tool

14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir. 10 I View Tool

15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord. 10 I View Tool

16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir. 10 I View Tool

17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. 10 I View Tool

18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city. 10 I View Tool

19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money. 10 I View Tool

20 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael. 10 I View Tool
