Young's Literal Translation
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.
And he heareth
the words of Laban's sons, saying, `
Jacob hath taken all that our father
hath
; yea,
from
that which our father
hath ,
he hath
made
all this honour;'
And Jacob beheld
the countenance
of Laban, and ,
behold
, it was
not toward
him as before
.
and Jacob seeth
the face
of Laban, and lo
, it is
not with
him as heretofore
.
And the
LORD
said
unto Jacob, Return
unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred ;
and I will
be
with thee.
And Jehovah
saith
unto Jacob, `Turn
back
unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred ,
and I am
with thee. '
And Jacob sent
and called
Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock ,
And Jacob sendeth
and calleth
for
Rachel and for
Leah to the field unto his flock ;
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 .
and saith
to
them, `
I am
beholding
your father's face
--
that it is not towards
me as heretofore,
and
the God of my father hath been with me ,
And ye know
that with all my power I have served your father .
and ye --
ye
have
known
that with all my power I have served your father ,
And your father hath deceived
me, and changed my wages
ten times; but
God suffered him not
to hurt
me.
and your father hath played
upon
me, and hath
changed my hire
ten times; and
God hath
not
suffered him to do
evil
with
me.
If he said
thus ,
The speckled shall
be
thy wages;
then all the cattle
bare
speckled :
and if he said
thus ,
The ring- streaked
shall
be
thy hire ;
then bare all the cattle
ring- streaked.
`
If he say
thus :
The speckled are
thy hire,
then bare
all the flock
speckled ones;
and if he say
thus :
The ring- straked
are
thy hire ,
then bare all the flock
ring- straked;
Thus
God hath
taken
away the cattle
of your father, and given
them
to me.
and
God taketh
away the substance
of your father, and doth
give
to me.
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
ring- streaked
, speckled, and grizzled.
`
And it cometh
to pass at the time of
the flock
conceiving
, that I lift
up mine eyes and see
in a dream, and lo
, the he-goats,
which are
going
up
on
the flock,
`are'
ring- straked
, speckled, and grisled;
And the angel
of God spake
unto me in a
dream, saying,
Jacob :
And I said
, Here am I.
and the messenger
of God saith
unto me in the
dream, Jacob ,
and I say
, Here `
am '
I.
And he said
, Lift up now
thine eyes, and see ,
all the rams
which leap
upon
the cattle
are ring- streaked
, speckled, and grizzled:
for I have seen all that Laban doeth
unto
thee .
`
And He saith
, Lift up ,
I
pray
thee,
thine eyes, and see --
all the he-goats
which are
going
up
on
the flock
`
are '
ring- straked
, speckled, and grisled,
for I have seen all that Laban is
doing
to
thee ;
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
.
I `
am '
the God of Bethel where thou hast
anointed
a
standing
pillar, where thou hast
vowed
a vow to
me ;
now ,
arise, go
out from this land, and turn
back
unto the land of thy birth
. '
And Rachel and
Leah answered
and said
unto
him, Is
there
yet any
portion or
inheritance for
us
in our
father's
house?
And Rachel answereth
--
Leah also
--
and saith
to
him, `Have
we
yet a
portion and
inheritance in the
house of
our
father
?
Are
we not counted
of
him
strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath
quite
devoured
also our money .
have
we not been
reckoned
strangers to
him
? for he hath sold us, and he
also utterly
consumeth
our money ;
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.
for all the wealth
which God hath taken away
from our father, it
`
is '
ours, and our children's ;
and
now, all
that
God hath said unto thee --
do. '
Then
Jacob rose
up
, and set
his sons and his wives upon
camels ;
And
Jacob riseth
, and lifteth
up
his sons and his wives on
the
camels ,
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.
and leadeth
all his cattle, and all his substance
which he hath
acquired
, the cattle of his getting, which he hath
acquired
in Padan-Aram
, to go unto
Isaac his father ,
to
the land of Canaan.
And Laban went
to shear his sheep:
and Rachel had
stolen
the images
that
were
her father's.
And Laban hath
gone
to shear his flock,
and Rachel stealeth
the teraphim
which
her father
hath;
And Jacob stole
away
unawares
to
Laban the Syrian
, in
that
he told
him
not that he fled.
and Jacob deceiveth
the
heart
of
Laban the Aramaean
, because
he hath
not declared
to
him
that he is
fleeing;
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.
and
he fleeth,
he
and
all that he hath,
and riseth
, and passeth
over the River, and setteth
his face `
toward '
the mount of
Gilead.
And it was
told Laban on the third day that Jacob was
fled .
And it is
told to
Laban on the third day that Jacob hath
fled ,
And he took
his brethren with him, and pursued
after him seven days '
journey;
and they
overtook
him in the mount Gilead.
and he taketh
his brethren with him, and pursueth
after him a
journey
of
seven days ,
and overtaketh
him in the mount of
Gilead.
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
.
And God cometh
in
unto
Laban the Aramaean
in a dream of
the
night, and saith
to
him, `
Take heed to
thyself
lest
thou speak with
Jacob from
good unto
evil
. '
Then
Laban overtook
Jacob .
Now
Jacob had
pitched
his tent in the mount :
and Laban with his brethren pitched
in the mount of Gilead.
And
Laban overtaketh
Jacob ;
and
Jacob hath
fixed
his tent in the mount ;
and Laban with his brethren have
fixed
`theirs'
in the mount of Gilead.
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?
And Laban saith
to Jacob, `
What hast thou done that thou dost
deceive
my
heart
, and lead
away my daughters as captives of
the sword?
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 ?
Why
hast
thou hidden
thyself
to
flee, and deceivest
me ,
and hast
not declared
to
me, and
I send
thee away with joy
and with songs, with tabret and with harp ,
And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now
done
foolishly in so
doing .
and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? --
now
thou hast acted
foolishly in doing `so';
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
.
my hand is
to God
to
do evil
with
you ,
but the God of your father yesternight
hath
spoken
unto me, saying, Take heed to thyself
from
speaking
with
Jacob from
good unto
evil
.
And now, though
thou wouldest
needs
be
gone, because thou sore
longedst
after
thy
father's
house ,
yet
wherefore
hast thou stolen my gods?
`
And now, thou hast
certainly
gone, because thou hast
been
very
desirous
for
the
house of
thy
father;
why
hast thou stolen my gods? '
And Jacob answered
and said
to Laban, Because I was afraid :
for I said, Peradventure
thou wouldest
take by
force
thy daughters from me .
And Jacob answereth
and saith
to Laban, `
Because I was afraid ,
for I said, Lest
thou take violently
away
thy daughters from me ;
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.
with whomsoever thou findest thy gods --
he
doth
not live ;
before our brethren discern for
thyself
what `
is '
with me, and take to thyself:'
and
Jacob hath
not known
that Rachel hath
stolen them.
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.
And Laban goeth
into the
tent of
Jacob
, and into the
tent of
Leah
, and into the tent
of
the
two handmaidens,
and
hath
not found;
and
he goeth
out from
the
tent of
Leah
, and goeth
into the
tent of
Rachel
.
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 .
And
Rachel hath
taken the teraphim
, and putteth
them in the furniture of
the
camel
, and sitteth
upon them ;
and Laban feeleth
all the tent, and
hath
not found;
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
.
and she saith
unto
her father, `
Let it not be
displeasing
in
the
eyes
of
my lord that I am
not
able
to
rise at
thy
presence,
for the way
of women `
is '
on
me ;'
and he searcheth,
and
hath
not found
the teraphim
.
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?
And it
is
displeasing
to
Jacob, and he
striveth
with Laban ;
and Jacob answereth
and saith
to Laban, `
What `
is '
my transgression
? what my sin, that thou hast burned
after me?
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.
for
thou hast felt
all my vessels:
what hast thou found of all the
vessels
of
thy house
? set here before my brethren ,
and thy brethren, and
they decide
between
us both.
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 .
`These
twenty years I `am'
with thee :
thy ewes and thy she -
goats have not miscarried
, and the rams of thy flock I have
not eaten ;
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 .
the
torn I have
not brought
in
unto thee --
I ,
I
repay
it --
from
my hand thou dost
seek
it ;
I
have
been
deceived
by day, and
I
have
been
deceived
by night ;
Thus
I was;
in the day the
drought
consumed me, and the
frost by night ;
and my sleep departed
from mine eyes.
I have
been
`thus':
in the day consumed me hath
drought
, and frost by night ,
and wander
doth
my sleep from mine eyes.
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 .
`This
`is'
to
me
twenty years in thy house :
I have
served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock;
and thou changest
my hire
ten times ;
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 labor
of my hands, and rebuked
thee
yesternight.
unless
the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for
me, surely now
empty
thou hadst sent me away ;
mine affliction and the labour
of my hands hath
God
seen
, and reproveth
yesternight. '
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?
And Laban answereth
and saith
unto Jacob, `The
daughters `
are '
my daughters, and the
sons
my sons
, and the
flock
my flock
, and all that thou art
seeing
`
is '
mine ;
and to
my
daughters
--
what do I
to
these to-day
, or to
their sons
whom
they have born?
Now therefore
come thou
, let us make a covenant, I and thou ;
and let
it be
for a witness between me and thee.
and
now ,
come, let us make a covenant, I and thou ,
and it hath
been
for a witness between me and thee. '
And Jacob took
a stone, and set
it up for a pillar .
And Jacob taketh
a stone, and lifteth
it up `
for '
a standing
pillar ;
And Jacob said
unto
his brethren, Gather stones ;
and they took
stones, and made
an
heap :
and they did
eat there upon
the heap .
and Jacob saith
to
his brethren, `
Gather stones ,'
and they take
stones, and make
a
heap ;
and they eat there on
the heap ;
And Laban called
it Jegarsahadutha:
but
Jacob called it Galeed.
and Laban calleth
it Jegar-Sahadutha;
and
Jacob hath
called it Galeed.
And Laban said
, This heap is a
witness between me and thee this
day .
Therefore was
the
name
of
it
called Galeed;
And Laban saith
, `
This heap `
is '
witness between me and thee to-
day ;'
therefore hath
he
called its
name
Galeed;
And
Mizpah ;
for he said, The
LORD
watch between me and thee, when
we are absent
one from another .
Mizpah also,
for he said, `Jehovah
doth
watch between me and thee, for
we are hidden
one from another ;
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.
if thou afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters --
there
is
no man with us --
see, God `
is '
witness between
me and thee. '
And Laban said
to Jacob, Behold
this heap, and behold
this
pillar
, which I have cast betwixt
me and thee :
And Laban saith
to Jacob, `Lo,
this heap, and lo
, the
standing
pillar
which I have cast between
me and thee ;
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.
this heap `is'
witness, and the
standing
pillar `is'
witness, that I do
not pass over this heap unto
thee, and that thou dost
not pass over this heap and this standing
pillar unto me --
for evil;
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.
the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, doth
judge
between
us
--
the God of their father, '
and Jacob sweareth
by the Fear of his father Isaac.
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 .
And
Jacob sacrificeth
a
sacrifice in
the mount, and calleth
to
his brethren to eat bread ,
and they eat bread, and lodge
in the mount ;
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.
and Laban
riseth
early in the morning, and kisseth
his sons and his daughters, and blesseth
them ;
and Laban goeth
on
, and turneth
back
to
his place.
