Genesis Chapter 31 - King James Strong Number Version

1: And he heard <H8085> the words <H1697> of Laban's <H3837> sons, <H1121> saying, <H0559> Jacob <H3290> hath taken away <H3947> all that [was] our father's; <H0001> and of [that] which [was] our father's <H0001> hath he gotten <H6213> all this glory. <H3519>
2: And Jacob <H3290> beheld <H7200> the countenance <H6440> of Laban, <H3837> and, behold, it [was] not toward him as <H8543> before. <H8032>
3: And the LORD <H3068> said <H0559> unto Jacob, <H3290> Return <H7725> unto the land <H0776> of thy fathers, <H0001> and to thy kindred; <H4138> and I will be with thee.
4: And Jacob <H3290> sent <H7971> and called <H7121> Rachel <H7354> and Leah <H3812> to the field <H7704> unto his flock, <H6629>
5: And said <H0559> unto them, I see <H7200> your father's <H0001> countenance, <H6440> that it [is] not toward me as <H8543> before; <H8032> but the God <H0430> of my father <H0001> hath been <H1961> with me.
6: And ye <H0859> know <H3045> that with all my power <H3581> I have served <H5647> your father. <H0001>
7: And your father <H0001> hath deceived <H2048> me, and changed <H2498> my wages <H4909> ten <H6235> times; <H4489> but God <H0430> suffered <H5414> him not to hurt <H7489> me. <H5978>
8: If he said <H0559> thus, The speckled <H5348> shall be thy wages; <H7939> then all the cattle <H6629> bare <H3205> speckled: <H5348> and if he said <H0559> thus, The ringstraked <H6124> shall be thy hire; <H7939> then bare <H3205> all the cattle <H6629> ringstraked. <H6124>
9: Thus God <H0430> hath taken away <H5337> the cattle <H4735> of your father, <H0001> and given <H5414> [them] to me.
10: And it came to pass 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, the rams <H6260> which leaped <H5927> upon the cattle <H6629> [were] ringstraked, <H6124> speckled, <H5348> and grisled. <H1261>
11: And the angel <H4397> of God <H0430> spake <H0559> unto me in a dream, <H2472> [saying], Jacob: <H3290> And I said, <H0559> Here [am] I.
12: And he said, <H0559> Lift up <H5375> now thine eyes, <H5869> and see, <H7200> all the rams <H6260> which leap <H5927> upon the cattle <H6629> [are] ringstraked, <H6124> speckled, <H5348> and grisled: <H1261> for I have seen <H7200> all that Laban <H3837> doeth <H6213> unto thee.
13: I [am] the God <H0410> of Bethel, <H1008> where thou anointedst <H4886> the pillar, <H4676> [and] where thou vowedst <H5087> a vow <H5088> unto me: now arise, <H6965> get thee out <H3318> from this land, <H0776> and return <H7725> unto the land <H0776> of thy kindred. <H4138>
14: And Rachel <H7354> and Leah <H3812> answered <H6030> and said <H0559> unto him, [Is there] yet any portion <H2506> or inheritance <H5159> for us in our father's <H0001> house? <H1004>
15: Are we not counted <H2803> of him strangers? <H5237> for he hath sold <H4376> us, and hath quite <H0398> devoured <H0398> also our money. <H3701>
16: For all the riches <H6239> which God <H0430> hath taken <H5337> from our father, <H0001> that [is] ours, and our children's: <H1121> now then, whatsoever God <H0430> hath said <H0559> unto thee, do. <H6213>
17: Then Jacob <H3290> rose up, <H6965> and set <H5375> his sons <H1121> and his wives <H0802> upon camels; <H1581>
18: And he carried away <H5090> all his cattle, <H4735> and all his goods <H7399> which he had gotten, <H7408> the cattle <H4735> of his getting, <H7075> which he had gotten <H7408> in Padanaram, <H6307> for to go <H0935> to Isaac <H3327> his father <H0001> in the land <H0776> of Canaan. <H3667>
19: And Laban <H3837> went <H1980> to shear <H1494> his sheep: <H6629> and Rachel <H7354> had stolen <H1589> the images <H8655> that [were] her father's. <H0001>
20: And Jacob <H3290> stole away <H1589> unawares <H3820> to Laban <H3837> the Syrian, <H0761> in that <H5921> he told <H5046> him not <H1097> that he fled. <H1272>
21: So he fled <H1272> with all that he had; and he rose up, <H6965> and passed over <H5674> the river, <H5104> and set <H7760> his face <H6440> [toward] the mount <H2022> Gilead. <H1568>
22: And it was told <H5046> Laban <H3837> on the third <H7992> day <H3117> that Jacob <H3290> was fled. <H1272>
23: And he took <H3947> his brethren <H0251> with him, and pursued <H7291> after him <H0310> seven <H7651> days' <H3117> journey; <H1870> and they overtook <H1692> him in the mount <H2022> Gilead. <H1568>
24: And God <H0430> came <H0935> to Laban <H3837> the Syrian <H0761> in a dream <H2472> by night, <H3915> and said <H0559> unto him, Take heed <H8104> that thou speak <H1696> not to <H5973> Jacob <H3290> either good <H2896> or <H5704> bad. <H7451>
25: Then Laban <H3837> overtook <H5381> Jacob. <H3290> Now Jacob <H3290> had pitched <H8628> his tent <H0168> in the mount: <H2022> and Laban <H3837> with his brethren <H0251> pitched <H8628> in the mount <H2022> of Gilead. <H1568>
26: And Laban <H3837> said <H0559> to Jacob, <H3290> What hast thou done, <H6213> that thou hast stolen away <H1589> unawares <H3824> to me, and carried away <H5090> my daughters, <H1323> as captives <H7617> [taken] with the sword? <H2719>
27: Wherefore didst thou flee away <H1272> secretly, <H2244> and steal away <H1589> from me; and didst not 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 hast not suffered <H5203> me to kiss <H5401> my sons <H1121> and my daughters? <H1323> thou hast now done foolishly <H5528> in [so] doing. <H6213>
29: It is <H3426> in the power <H0410> of my hand <H3027> to do <H6213> you hurt: <H7451> but the God <H0430> of your father <H0001> spake <H0559> unto me yesternight, <H0570> saying, <H0559> Take thou heed <H8104> that thou speak not <H1696> to Jacob <H3290> either good <H2896> or bad. <H7451>
30: And now, [though] thou wouldest needs <H1980> be gone, <H1980> because thou sore <H3700> longedst <H3700> after thy father's <H0001> house, <H1004> [yet] wherefore hast thou stolen <H1589> my gods? <H0430>
31: And Jacob <H3290> answered <H6030> and said <H0559> to Laban, <H3837> Because I was afraid: <H3372> for I said, <H0559> Peradventure <H6435> thou wouldest take by force <H1497> thy daughters <H1323> from me.
32: With whomsoever <H0834> thou findest <H4672> thy gods, <H0430> let him not live: <H2421> before <H5048> our brethren <H0251> discern <H5234> thou what [is] thine with me, and take <H3947> [it] to thee. For Jacob <H3290> knew <H3045> not that Rachel <H7354> had stolen <H1589> them.
33: And Laban <H3837> went <H0935> into Jacob's <H3290> tent, <H0168> and into Leah's <H3812> tent, <H0168> and into the two <H8147> maidservants' <H0519> tents; <H0168> but he found <H4672> [them] not. Then went he out <H3318> of Leah's <H3812> tent, <H0168> and entered <H0935> into Rachel's <H7354> tent. <H0168>
34: Now Rachel <H7354> had taken <H3947> the images, <H8655> and put <H7760> them in the camel's <H1581> furniture, <H3733> and sat <H3427> upon them. And Laban <H3837> searched <H4959> all the tent, <H0168> but found <H4672> [them] not.
35: And she said <H0559> to her father, <H0001> Let it not displease <H2734> <H5869> my lord <H0113> that I cannot <H3808> <H3201> rise up <H6965> before <H6440> thee; for the custom <H1870> of women <H0802> [is] upon me. And he searched, <H2664> but found <H4672> not the images. <H8655>
36: And Jacob <H3290> was wroth, <H2734> and chode <H7378> with Laban: <H3837> and Jacob <H3290> answered <H6030> and said <H0559> to Laban, <H3837> What [is] my trespass? <H6588> what [is] my sin, <H2403> that thou hast so hotly pursued <H1814> after <H0310> me?
37: Whereas <H3588> thou hast searched <H4959> all my stuff, <H3627> what hast thou found <H4672> of all thy household <H1004> stuff? <H3627> set <H7760> [it] here <H3541> before my brethren <H0251> and thy brethren, <H0251> that they may judge <H3198> betwixt <H0996> us both. <H8147>
38: This twenty <H6242> years <H8141> [have] I [been] with thee; thy ewes <H7353> and thy she goats <H5795> have not cast their young, <H7921> and the rams <H0352> of thy flock <H6629> have I not eaten. <H0398>
39: That which was torn <H2966> [of beasts] I brought <H0935> not unto thee; I bare the loss <H2398> of it; of my hand <H3027> didst thou require <H1245> it, [whether] stolen <H1589> by day, <H3117> or stolen <H1589> by night. <H3915>
40: [Thus] I was; in the day <H3117> the drought <H2721> consumed <H0398> me, and the frost <H7140> by night; <H3915> and my sleep <H8142> departed <H5074> from mine eyes. <H5869>
41: Thus have I been twenty <H6242> years <H8141> in thy house; <H1004> I served <H5647> thee fourteen <H0702> <H6240> years <H8141> for thy two <H8147> daughters, <H1323> and six <H8337> years <H8141> for thy cattle: <H6629> and thou hast changed <H2498> my wages <H4909> ten <H6235> times. <H4489>
42: Except <H3884> the God <H0430> of my father, <H0001> the God <H0430> of Abraham, <H0085> and the fear <H6343> of Isaac, <H3327> had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away <H7971> now empty. <H7387> God <H0430> hath seen <H7200> mine affliction <H6040> and the labour <H3018> of my hands, <H3709> and rebuked <H3198> [thee] yesternight. <H0570>
43: And Laban <H3837> answered <H6030> and said <H0559> unto 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 that thou seest <H7200> [is] mine: and what can I do <H6213> this day <H3117> unto these my daughters, <H1323> or <H0176> unto their children <H1121> which they have born? <H3205>
44: Now therefore come <H3212> thou, let us make <H3772> a covenant, <H1285> I and thou; and let it be for a witness <H5707> between me and thee.
45: And Jacob <H3290> took <H3947> a stone, <H0068> and set it up <H7311> [for] a pillar. <H4676>
46: And Jacob <H3290> said <H0559> unto his brethren, <H0251> Gather <H3950> stones; <H0068> and they took <H3947> stones, <H0068> and made <H6213> an heap: <H1530> and they did eat <H0398> there upon the heap. <H1530>
47: And Laban <H3837> called <H7121> it Jegarsahadutha: <H3026> but Jacob <H3290> called <H7121> it Galeed. <H1530> <H5707><H1567>
48: And Laban <H3837> said, <H0559> This heap <H1530> [is] a witness <H5707> between me and thee this day. <H3117> Therefore was the name <H8034> of it called <H7121> Galeed; <H1567>
49: And Mizpah; <H4709> for <H0834> he said, <H0559> The LORD <H3068> watch <H6822> between me and thee, when we are absent <H5641> one <H0376> from another. <H7453>
50: If thou shalt afflict <H6031> my daughters, <H1323> or if thou shalt take <H3947> [other] wives <H0802> beside <H5921> my daughters, <H1323> no man <H0376> [is] with us; see, <H7200> God <H0430> [is] witness <H5707> betwixt me and thee.
51: And Laban <H3837> said <H0559> to Jacob, <H3290> Behold this heap, <H1530> and behold [this] pillar, <H4676> which I have cast <H3384> betwixt me and thee:
52: This heap <H1530> [be] witness, <H5707> and [this] pillar <H4676> [be] witness, <H5713> that I will not pass over <H5674> this heap <H1530> to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over <H5674> this heap <H1530> and this pillar <H4676> unto me, for harm. <H7451>
53: The God <H0430> of Abraham, <H0085> and the God <H0430> of Nahor, <H5152> the God <H0430> of their father, <H0001> judge <H8199> betwixt us. And Jacob <H3290> sware <H7650> by the fear <H6343> of his father <H0001> Isaac. <H3327>
54: Then Jacob <H3290> offered <H2076> sacrifice <H2077> upon the mount, <H2022> and called <H7121> his brethren <H0251> to eat <H0398> bread: <H3899> and they did eat <H0398> bread, <H3899> and tarried all night <H3885> in the mount. <H2022>
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, <H3212> and returned <H7725> unto his place. <H4725>
