|
1. And he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was to our father, and from that which was to our father he has gotten all this wealth.
|
1. And he heard H8085 H853 the words H1697 of Laban H3837 's sons H1121 , saying H559 , Jacob H3290 hath taken away H3947 H853 all H3605 that H834 was our father H1 's ; and of that which H4480 H834 was our father H1 's hath he gotten H6213 H853 all H3605 this H2088 glory H3519 .
|
|
2. And Jacob saw the face of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
|
2. And Jacob H3290 beheld H7200 H853 the countenance H6440 of Laban H3837 , and, behold H2009 , it was not H369 toward H5973 him as before H8543 H8032 .
|
|
3. And Jehovah said to Jacob, Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred. And I will be with you.
|
3. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Jacob H3290 , Return H7725 unto H413 the land H776 of thy fathers H1 , and to thy kindred H4138 ; and I will be H1961 with H5973 thee.
|
|
4. And Jacob sent and called for Rachel and for Leah to come to the field, to his flocks.
|
4. And Jacob H3290 sent H7971 and called H7121 Rachel H7354 and Leah H3812 to the field H7704 unto H413 his flock H6629 ,
|
|
5. And he said to them, I see your father's face, that it is not toward me as before. But the God of my father has been with me.
|
5. And said H559 unto them, I H595 see H7200 H853 your father H1 's countenance H6440 , that H3588 it is not H369 toward H413 me as before H8543 H8032 ; but the God H430 of my father H1 hath been H1961 with H5973 me.
|
|
6. And you know that with all my power I have served your father.
|
6. And ye H859 know H3045 that H3588 with all H3605 my power H3581 I have served H5647 H853 your father H1 .
|
|
7. And your father has cheated me and has changed my wages ten times. And God has not let him do evil to me.
|
7. And your father H1 hath deceived H2048 me , and changed H2498 H853 my wages H4909 ten H6235 times H4489 ; but God H430 suffered H5414 him not H3808 to hurt H7489 H5978 me.
|
|
8. And if he said this: The speckled shall be your wages, then all the flocks bore speckled. And if he said this, The striped shall be your wages, then all the flocks bore striped.
|
8. If H518 he said H559 thus H3541 , The speckled H5348 shall be H1961 thy wages H7939 ; then all H3605 the cattle H6629 bore H3205 speckled H5348 : and if H518 he said H559 thus H3541 , The ringstreaked H6124 shall be H1961 thy hire H7939 ; then bore H3205 all H3605 the cattle H6629 ringstreaked H6124 .
|
|
9. And God has taken away the livestock of your father and has given to me.
|
9. Thus God H430 hath taken away H5337 H853 the cattle H4735 of your father H1 , and given H5414 them to me.
|
|
10. And it happened at the time the flock was in heat, I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream: And behold! The rams leaping on the flock were striped, speckled, and spotted.
|
10. And it came to pass H1961 at the time H6256 that the cattle H6629 conceived H3179 , that I lifted up H5375 mine eyes H5869 , and saw H7200 in a dream H2472 , and, behold H2009 , the rams H6260 which leaped H5927 upon H5921 the cattle H6629 were ringstreaked H6124 , speckled H5348 , and grizzled H1261 .
|
|
11. And the Angel of God spoke to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Behold me.
|
11. And the angel H4397 of God H430 spoke H559 unto H413 me in a dream H2472 , saying , Jacob H3290 : And I said H559 , Here H2009 am I.
|
|
12. And He said, Lift up your eyes and see all the rams leaping on the flock; they are striped, speckled and spotted. For I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.
|
12. And he said H559 , Lift up H5375 now H4994 thine eyes H5869 , and see H7200 , all H3605 the rams H6260 which leap H5927 upon H5921 the cattle H6629 are ringstreaked H6124 , speckled H5348 , and grizzled H1261 : for H3588 I have seen H7200 H853 all H3605 that H834 Laban H3837 doeth H6213 unto thee.
|
|
13. I am the God of Bethel, there where you anointed the pillar, where you vowed a vow to Me. Now rise up; go out of this land and go back to the land of your kindred.
|
13. I H595 am the God H410 of Bethel H1008 , where H834 H8033 thou anointedst H4886 the pillar H4676 , and where H834 H8033 thou vowedst H5087 a vow H5088 unto me: now H6258 arise H6965 , get thee out H3318 from H4480 this H2063 land H776 , and return H7725 unto H413 the land H776 of thy kindred H4138 .
|
|
14. And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet to us a portion and an inheritance in the house of our father?
|
14. And Rachel H7354 and Leah H3812 answered H6030 and said H559 unto him, Is there yet H5750 any portion H2506 or inheritance H5159 for us in our father H1 's house H1004 ?
|
|
15. Are we not counted strangers by him. For he has sold us, and selling he has sold us for silver.
|
15. Are we not H3808 counted H2803 of him strangers H5237 ? for H3588 he hath sold H4376 us , and hath quite devoured H398 H398 also H1571 H853 our money H3701 .
|
|
16. For all the wealth which God has taken from our father, it is for us and for our sons. And now all that which God has said to you, do.
|
16. For H3588 all H3605 the riches H6239 which H834 God H430 hath taken H5337 from our father H4480 H1 , that H1931 is ours , and our children H1121 's: now H6258 then, whatsoever H3605 H834 God H430 hath said H559 unto H413 thee, do H6213 .
|
|
17. And Jacob arose and set his sons and his wives on camels.
|
17. Then Jacob H3290 rose up H6965 , and set H5375 H853 his sons H1121 and his wives H802 upon H5921 camels H1581 ;
|
|
18. And he drove all the livestock, and he took all his goods which he had gotten, livestock of his property which he had gotten in Padan-aram, to come to his father Isaac, to the land of Canaan.
|
18. And he carried away H5090 H853 all H3605 his cattle H4735 , and all H3605 his goods H7399 which H834 he had gotten H7408 , the cattle H4735 of his getting H7075 , which H834 he had gotten H7408 in Padan H6307 -aram , for to go H935 to H413 Isaac H3327 his father H1 in the land H776 of Canaan H3667 .
|
|
19. And Laban went to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the household idols which were her father's.
|
19. And Laban H3837 went H1980 to shear H1494 H853 his sheep H6629 : and Rachel H7354 had stolen H1589 H853 the images H8655 that H834 were her father H1 's.
|
|
20. And Jacob deceived the heart of Laban the Syrian, for he did not tell him that he was about to flee.
|
20. And Jacob H3290 stole away H1589 H853 unawares H3820 to Laban H3837 the Syrian H761 , in that H5921 he told H5046 him not H1097 that H3588 he H1931 fled H1272 .
|
|
21. And he and all that was to him fled. And he rose up and crossed the River and set his face to Mount Gilead.
|
21. So he H1931 fled H1272 with all H3605 that H834 he had ; and he rose up H6965 , and passed over H5674 H853 the river H5104 , and set H7760 H853 his face H6440 toward the mount H2022 Gilead H1568 .
|
|
22. And on the third day Laban was told that Jacob had fled.
|
22. And it was told H5046 Laban H3837 on the third H7992 day H3117 that H3588 Jacob H3290 was fled H1272 .
|
|
23. And he took his brothers with him and pursued him, seven days journey. And he overtook him in Mount Gilead.
|
23. And he took H3947 H853 his brethren H251 with H5973 him , and pursued H7291 after H310 him seven H7651 days H3117 ' journey H1870 ; and they overtook H1692 him in the mount H2022 Gilead H1568 .
|
|
24. And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, Watch out for yourself, that you not speak with Jacob from good to evil.
|
24. And God H430 came H935 to H413 Laban H3837 the Syrian H761 in a dream H2472 by night H3915 , and said H559 unto him , Take heed H8104 that H6435 thou speak H1696 not to H5973 Jacob H3290 either good H4480 H2896 or H5704 bad H7451 .
|
|
25. And Laban overtook Jacob. And Jacob had pitched his tent at the Mount. And Laban with his brothers had pitched at Mount Gilead.
|
25. Then Laban H3837 overtook H5381 H853 Jacob H3290 . Now Jacob H3290 had pitched H8628 H853 his tent H168 in the mount H2022 : and Laban H3837 with H854 his brethren H251 pitched H8628 in the mount H2022 of Gilead H1568 .
|
|
26. And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done? And you have deceived my heart and have taken my daughters like captives of the sword.
|
26. And Laban H3837 said H559 to Jacob H3290 , What H4100 hast thou done H6213 , that thou hast stolen away H1589 H853 unawares H3824 to me , and carried away H5090 H853 my daughters H1323 , as captives H7617 taken with the sword H2719 ?
|
|
27. Why did you hide so as to flee, and have deceived me and have not told me. And I would have sent you away with rejoicing and with music, with tabret and with harp.
|
27. Wherefore H4100 didst thou flee away H2244 secretly H1272 , and steal away H1589 from me ; and didst not H3808 tell H5046 me , that I might have sent thee away H7971 with mirth H8057 , and with songs H7892 , with tabret H8596 , and with harp H3658 ?
|
|
28. And you have not let me kiss my sons and my daughters. Now you have been foolish to do this.
|
28. And hast not H3808 suffered H5203 me to kiss H5401 my sons H1121 and my daughters H1323 ? thou hast now H6258 done foolishly H5528 in so doing H6213 .
|
|
29. It is in the power of my hand to do you harm. But the God of your fathers spoke to me last night, saying, Watch out for yourself that you do not speak with Jacob from good to evil.
|
29. It is H3426 in the power H410 of my hand H3027 to do H6213 you hurt H7451 : but the God H430 of your father H1 spoke H559 unto H413 me last night H570 , saying H559 , Take thou heed H8104 that thou speak H4480 H1696 not to H5973 Jacob H3290 either good H4480 H2896 or H5704 bad H7451 .
|
|
30. And now surely you have gone because you have longed after your father's house. Why have you stolen my gods?
|
30. And now H6258 , though thou wouldest needs be gone H1980 H1980 , because H3588 thou sore longedst H3700 H3700 after thy father H1 's house H1004 , yet wherefore H4100 hast thou stolen H1589 H853 my gods H430 ?
|
|
31. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid. For I said, Lest by force you take your daughters from me.
|
31. And Jacob H3290 answered H6030 and said H559 to Laban H3837 , Because H3588 I was afraid H3372 : for H3588 I said H559 , Peradventure H6435 thou wouldest take by force H1497 H853 thy daughters H1323 from H4480 H5973 me.
|
|
32. With whomever you find your gods, he shall not live before our brothers here. See for yourself what is with me, and take it to you. For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
|
32. With H5973 whomsoever H834 thou findest H4672 H853 thy gods H430 , let him not H3808 live H2421 : before H5048 our brethren H251 discern H5234 thou what H4100 is thine with H5973 me , and take H3947 it to thee . For Jacob H3290 knew H3045 not H3808 that H3588 Rachel H7354 had stolen H1589 them.
|
|
33. And Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two slave-girls; and he did not find. And he went out of Leah's tent and came into Rachel's tent.
|
33. And Laban H3837 went H935 into Jacob H3290 's tent H168 , and into Leah H3812 's tent H168 , and into the two H8147 maidservants H519 ' tents H168 ; but he found H4672 them not H3808 . Then went H3318 he out of Leah's tent H4480 H168 H3812 , and entered H935 into Rachel H7354 's tent H168 .
|
|
34. And Rachel had taken the household idols and put them into the camel's saddle; and she sat on them. And Laban felt around all the tent, but did not find.
|
34. Now Rachel H7354 had taken H3947 H853 the images H8655 , and put H7760 them in the camel H1581 's furniture H3733 , and sat H3427 upon H5921 them . And Laban H3837 searched H4959 H853 all H3605 the tent H168 , but found H4672 them not H3808 .
|
|
35. And she said to her father, Let no anger be in the eyes of my lord, for I am not able to rise before your face, for the way of women is to me. And he searched for and did not find the household idols.
|
35. And she said H559 to H413 her father H1 , Let it not H408 displease H2734 H5869 my lord H113 that H3588 I cannot H3808 H3201 rise up H6965 before H4480 H6440 thee; for H3588 the custom H1870 of women H802 is upon me . And he searched H2664 , but found H4672 not H3808 H853 the images H8655 .
|
|
36. And Jacob was angry, and he argued with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my transgression; what my sin that you have hotly pursued me?
|
36. And Jacob H3290 was wroth H2734 , and chided H7378 with Laban H3837 : and Jacob H3290 answered H6030 and said H559 to Laban H3837 , What H4100 is my trespass H6588 ? what H4100 is my sin H2403 , that H3588 thou hast so hotly pursued H1814 after H310 me?
|
|
37. For you have felt around all my articles; what have you found from all the articles of your house? Set it here before my brothers and your brothers and let them decide between the two of us.
|
37. Whereas H3588 thou hast searched H4959 H853 all H3605 my stuff H3627 , what H4100 hast thou found H4672 of all H4480 H3605 thy household H1004 stuff H3627 ? set H7760 it here H3541 before H5048 my brethren H251 and thy brethren H251 , that they may judge H3198 between H996 us both H8147 .
|
|
38. Now I was with you twenty years. Your ewes and your she-goats have not failed to bear, and I have not eaten the rams of your flock.
|
38. This H2088 twenty H6242 years H8141 have I H595 been with H5973 thee ; thy ewes H7353 and thy she goats H5795 have not H3808 cast their young H7921 , and the rams H352 of thy flock H6629 have I not H3808 eaten H398 .
|
|
39. I did not bring to you the mangled; I replaced it. From my hand you exacted it, that stolen by day and that stolen by night.
|
39. That which was torn H2966 of beasts I brought H935 not H3808 unto H413 thee; I H595 bore the loss H2398 of it ; of my hand H4480 H3027 didst thou require H1245 it, whether stolen H1589 by day H3117 , or stolen H1589 by night H3915 .
|
|
40. I was there; by day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night. And my sleep fled from my eyes.
|
40. Thus I was H1961 ; in the day H3117 the drought H2721 consumed H398 me , and the frost H7140 by night H3915 ; and my sleep H8142 departed H5074 from mine eyes H4480 H5869 .
|
|
41. Now I have been twenty years in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flock. And you have changed my wages ten times.
|
41. Thus H2088 have I been twenty H6242 years H8141 in thy house H1004 ; I served H5647 thee fourteen H702 H6240 years H8141 for thy two H8147 daughters H1323 , and six H8337 years H8141 for thy cattle H6629 : and thou hast changed H2498 H853 my wages H4909 ten H6235 times H4489 .
|
|
42. Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, truly now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hand, and last night He judged.
|
42. Except H3884 the God H430 of my father H1 , the God H430 of Abraham H85 , and the fear H6343 of Isaac H3327 , had been H1961 with me, surely H3588 thou hadst sent me away H7971 now H6258 empty H7387 . God H430 hath seen H7200 H853 mine affliction H6040 and the labor H3018 of my hands H3709 , and rebuked H3198 thee last night H570 .
|
|
43. And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters and the sons my sons. And the flocks are my flocks; yea, all which you see, it is mine and my daughters'. What can I do to these today, or to their sons whom they have borne?
|
43. And Laban H3837 answered H6030 and said H559 unto H413 Jacob H3290 , These daughters H1323 are my daughters H1323 , and these children H1121 are my children H1121 , and these cattle H6629 are my cattle H6629 , and all H3605 that H834 thou H859 seest H7200 is mine : and what H4100 can I do H6213 this day H3117 unto these H428 my daughters H1323 , or H176 unto their children H1121 which H834 they have born H3205 ?
|
|
44. And now come, let us cut a covenant, you and me; and let it be a witness between you and me.
|
44. Now H6258 therefore come H1980 thou , let us make H3772 a covenant H1285 , I H589 and thou H859 ; and let it be H1961 for a witness H5707 between H996 me and thee.
|
|
45. And Jacob took a stone and set it up as a memorial.
|
45. And Jacob H3290 took H3947 a stone H68 , and set it up H7311 for a pillar H4676 .
|
|
46. And Jacob said to his brothers, Gather stones. And they took stones and they made a memorial pillar.
|
46. And Jacob H3290 said H559 unto his brethren H251 , Gather H3950 stones H68 ; and they took H3947 stones H68 , and made H6213 an heap H1530 : and they did eat H398 there H8033 upon H5921 the heap H1530 .
|
|
47. And Laban called it, Heap of the Testimony. And Jacob called it in Hebrew, Heap of Testimony.
|
47. And Laban H3837 called H7121 it Jegar H3026 -sahadutha : but Jacob H3290 called H7121 it Galeed H1567 .
|
|
48. And Laban said, This heap is a witness between you and between me today; so he called its name Heap of Testimony;
|
48. And Laban H3837 said H559 , This H2088 heap H1530 is a witness H5707 between H996 me and thee this day H3117 . Therefore H5921 H3651 was the name H8034 of it called H7121 Galeed H1567 ;
|
|
49. also, Watchtower; for he said, May Jehovah watch between you and me, for we are hidden, when we are out of sight, each from his neighbor.
|
49. And Mizpah H4709 ; for H834 he said H559 , The LORD H3068 watch H6822 between H996 me and thee, when H3588 we are absent H5641 one H376 from another H4480 H7453 .
|
|
50. If you will not afflict my daughters, and if you will not take wives above my daughters, no man is with us. Behold! God is a witness between you and me.
|
50. If H518 thou shalt afflict H6031 H853 my daughters H1323 , or if H518 thou shalt take H3947 other wives H802 beside H5921 my daughters H1323 , no H369 man H376 is with H5973 us; see H7200 , God H430 is witness H5707 between H996 me and thee.
|
|
51. And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have set between you and me.
|
51. And Laban H3837 said H559 to Jacob H3290 , Behold H2009 this H2088 heap H1530 , and behold H2009 this pillar H4676 , which H834 I have cast H3384 between H996 me and thee;
|
|
52. This heap is a witness, and the pillar is a testimony. As for me, I will not pass over this heap to you; and as for you, you will not pass over this heap and this pillar for evil to me.
|
52. This H2088 heap H1530 be witness H5707 , and this pillar H4676 be witness H5713 , that H518 I H589 will not H3808 pass over H5674 H853 this H2088 heap H1530 to H413 thee , and that H518 thou H859 shalt not H3808 pass over H5674 H853 this H2088 heap H1530 and this H2063 pillar H4676 unto H413 me , for harm H7451 .
|
|
53. The God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, the God of their father, let judge between us. And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
|
53. The God H430 of Abraham H85 , and the God H430 of Nahor H5152 , the God H430 of their father H1 , judge H8199 between H996 us . And Jacob H3290 swore H7650 by the fear H6343 of his father H1 Isaac H3327 .
|
|
54. And Jacob sacrificed a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his brothers to eat bread. And they ate bread and lodged on the mountain.
|
54. Then Jacob H3290 offered H2076 sacrifice H2077 upon the mount H2022 , and called H7121 his brethren H251 to eat H398 bread H3899 : and they did eat H398 bread H3899 , and tarried all night H3885 in the mount H2022 .
|
|
55. And Laban rose up early in the morning and kissed his sons and his daughters and blessed them. And Laban went away and returned to his own place.
|
55. And early in the morning H1242 Laban H3837 rose up H7925 , and kissed H5401 his sons H1121 and his daughters H1323 , and blessed H1288 them : and Laban H3837 departed H1980 , and returned H7725 unto his place H4725 .
