On the third day, Laban was told that Jacob had fled.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.22", "ref": "Genesis 31:22", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7113.986413270459 }
So he took his kinsmen with him and pursued him a distance of seven days, catching up with him in the hill country of Gilead.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.23", "ref": "Genesis 31:23", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3925.2247061388925 }
But God appeared to Laban the Aramean in a dream by night and said to him, "Beware of attempting anything with Jacob, good or bad."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.24", "ref": "Genesis 31:24", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7323.641732854162 }
Laban overtook Jacob. Jacob had pitched his tent on the Height, and Laban with his kinsmen encamped in the hill country of Gilead.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.25", "ref": "Genesis 31:25", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 5820.32816280792 }
And Laban said to Jacob, "What did you mean by keeping me in the dark and carrying off my daughters like captives of the sword?
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.26", "ref": "Genesis 31:26", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 5857.614589083129 }
Why did you flee in secrecy and mislead me and not tell me? I would have sent you off with festive music, with timbrel and lyre.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.27", "ref": "Genesis 31:27", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4939.550890130325 }
You did not even let me kiss my sons and daughters * sons and daughters So NJPS; Heb. levanai we-livnotai , a stock phrase (see, e.g., 46.15; 1 Sam. 30.6; Neh. 5.5) that means "progeny," thus including grandchildren. good-by! It was a foolish thing for you to do.

I have it in my power to do you harm; but the God of your father's [house] said to me last night, ‘Beware of attempting anything with Jacob, good or bad.'
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.29", "ref": "Genesis 31:29", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4212.977971513441 }
Very well, you had to leave because you were longing for your father's house; but why did you steal my gods?"
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.30", "ref": "Genesis 31:30", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 5298.84046533051 }
Jacob answered Laban, saying, "I was afraid because I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.31", "ref": "Genesis 31:31", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3856.577013104878 }
But anyone with whom you find your gods shall not remain alive! In the presence of our kin, point out what I have of yours and take it." Jacob, of course, did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.32", "ref": "Genesis 31:32", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 8759.29363172173 }
So Laban went into Jacob's tent and Leah's tent and the tents of the two maidservants; but he did not find them. Leaving Leah's tent, he entered Rachel's tent.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.33", "ref": "Genesis 31:33", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3534.7873468897496 }
Rachel, meanwhile, had taken the idols and placed them in the camel cushion and sat on them; and Laban rummaged through the tent without finding them.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.34", "ref": "Genesis 31:34", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 6259.017323404035 }
For she said to her father, "Let not my lord take it amiss that I cannot rise before you, for I am in a womanly way." Thus he searched, but could not find the household idols.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.35", "ref": "Genesis 31:35", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3624.980597516362 }
Now Jacob became incensed and took up his grievance with Laban. Jacob spoke up and said to Laban, "What is my crime, what is my guilt that you should pursue me?
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.36", "ref": "Genesis 31:36", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7104.14167168264 }
You rummaged through all my things; what have you found of all your household objects? Set it here, before my kin and yours, and let them decide between us two.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.37", "ref": "Genesis 31:37", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2037.11592157915 }
"These twenty years I have spent in your service, your ewes and she-goats never miscarried, nor did I feast on rams from your flock.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.38", "ref": "Genesis 31:38", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 5339.095935946495 }
That which was torn by beasts I never brought to you; I myself made good the loss; you exacted it of me, whether snatched by day or snatched by night.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.39", "ref": "Genesis 31:39", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2967.3370852638636 }
Often, * Often Lit. "I was." scorching heat ravaged me by day and frost by night; and sleep fled from my eyes.

Had not the God of my father's [house]—the God of Abraham and the Fear * Fear Meaning of Heb. pahad uncertain. of Isaac—been with me, you would have sent me away empty-handed. But it was my plight and the toil of my hands that God took notice of—and gave judgment on last night."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.42", "ref": "Genesis 31:42", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7017.45635484443 }
Then Laban spoke up and said to Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks; all that you see is mine. Yet what can I do now about my daughters or the children they have borne?
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.43", "ref": "Genesis 31:43", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 28416.649724942967 }
Come, then, let us make a pact, you and I, that there may be a witness between you and me."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.44", "ref": "Genesis 31:44", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4005.6937549177787 }
Thereupon Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.45", "ref": "Genesis 31:45", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2794.050960920636 }
And Jacob said to his kinsmen, "Gather stones." So they took stones and made a mound; and they partook of a meal there by the mound.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.46", "ref": "Genesis 31:46", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3257.0142069586404 }
Laban named it Yegar-sahadutha, * Yegar-sahadutha Aramaic for "the mound (or: stone-heap) of witness." but Jacob named it Gal-ed. * Gal-ed Heb. for "the mound (or: stone-heap) of witness," reflecting the name Gilead, v. 23.

And Laban declared, "This mound is a witness between you and me this day." That is why it was named Gal-ed;
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.48", "ref": "Genesis 31:48", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2072.1426670219626 }

{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.49", "ref": "Genesis 31:49", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2038.6297628555958 }

And Laban said to Jacob, "Here is this mound and here the pillar which I have set up between you and me:
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.51", "ref": "Genesis 31:51", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2399.7028878431743 }
this mound shall be witness and this pillar shall be witness that I am not to cross to you past this mound, and that you are not to cross to me past this mound and this pillar, with hostile intent.

May the God of Abraham's [house] and the god of Nahor's [house]"—their ancestral deities—"judge between us." And Jacob swore by the Fear * Fear Meaning of Heb. pahad uncertain. of his father Isaac's [house].
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.53", "ref": "Genesis 31:53", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3730.4292546923584 }
Jacob then offered up a sacrifice on the Height, and invited his kinsmen to partake of the meal. After the meal, they spent the night on the Height.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.31.54", "ref": "Genesis 31:54", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2539.1616781911002 }
Early in the morning, Laban kissed his sons and daughters * sons and daughters See note at 31.28. and bade them good-by; then Laban left on his journey homeward.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.32.1", "ref": "Genesis 32:1", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 79397.76700191008 }
Jacob went on his way, and messengers of God encountered him.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.32.2", "ref": "Genesis 32:2", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 25681.29054828006 }
When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." So he named that place Mahanaim. * Mahanaim Connected with Heb. mahaneh "camp."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.32.3", "ref": "Genesis 32:3", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 14968.89327691776 }
Jacob sent messengers ahead to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom,

and instructed them as follows, "Thus shall you say, ‘To my lord Esau, thus says your servant Jacob: * Thus shall you say, ‘To my lord Esau, thus says your servant Jacob…' Or "Thus you shall say to my lord Esau, ‘Thus says your servant Jacob…'" I stayed with Laban and remained until now;

The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau; he himself is coming to meet you, and his retinue * retinue Trad. "men," yet women may be in view. See 33.15; cf. 24.59; contrast Judg. 9.49 with Exod. 32.28. See further the Dictionary under 'ish . numbers four hundred."

Jacob was greatly frightened; in his anxiety, he divided the people with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two camps,
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.32.8", "ref": "Genesis 32:8", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 98803.66694246841 }
thinking, "If Esau comes to the one camp and attacks it, the other camp may yet escape."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.32.9", "ref": "Genesis 32:9", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 29547.78849469626 }
Then Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham's [house] and God of my father Isaac's [house], O יהוה, who said to me, ‘Return to your native land and I will deal bountifully with you'!

I am unworthy of all the kindness that You have so steadfastly shown Your servant: with my staff alone I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.

Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; else, I fear, he may come and strike me down, mothers and children alike.

These he put in the charge of his servants, drove by drove, and he told his servants, "Go on ahead, and keep a distance between droves."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.32.17", "ref": "Genesis 32:17", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 15949.468235163939 }
He instructed the one in front as follows, "When my brother Esau meets you and asks you, ‘Who's your master? Where are you going? And whose [animals] are these ahead of you?'

He gave similar instructions to the second one, and the third, and all the others who followed the droves, namely, "Thus and so shall you say to Esau when you reach him.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.32.20", "ref": "Genesis 32:20", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 10951.747877258424 }
And you shall add, ‘And your servant Jacob himself is right behind us.'" For he reasoned, "If I propitiate him with presents in advance, and then face him, perhaps he will show me favor."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.32.21", "ref": "Genesis 32:21", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 22053.209096405993 }
And so the gift went on ahead, while he remained in camp that night.
