1 Now Jacob used to listen while Laban's sons kept on complaining, |Jacob has taken over everything our father owns! He made himself wealthy from what belongs to our father!| 2 Jacob also noticed that the way Laban had been looking at him wasn't as nice as it had been just two days earlier. 3 Then the LORD ordered Jacob, |Go back to your father's territory and to your relatives. I'll be with you.| 4 Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah to come out to the field where his flock was 5 and informed them, |I've noticed that the way your father has been looking at us hasn't been as nice as it was just two days ago. But my father's God has been with me. 6 You know I've been serving your father with all my heart. 7 Even so, your father has cheated me. He broke our wage agreement ten times. However, God didn't allow him to harm me. Genesis 31:1-7, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
