Then Jacob put his wives and his sons on camels;

וַיָּ֖קָם (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשָּׂ֛א (וַ) va “and”

And sending on before him all his cattle and his property which he had got together in Paddan-aram, he made ready to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.

וַיִּנְהַ֣ג (וַ) va “and”

Now Laban had gone to see to the cutting of the wool of his sheep; so Rachel secretly took the images of the gods of her father's house.

וַתִּגְנֹ֣ב (וַ) va. “and”

And Jacob went away secretly, without giving news of his flight to Laban the Aramaean.

וַיִּגְנֹ֣ב (וַ) va “and”

So he went away with all he had, and went across the River in the direction of the hill-country of Gilead.

וַיִּבְרַ֥ח (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֖קָם (וַ) va “and”וַיַּעֲבֹ֣ר (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֥שֶׂם (וַ) va “and”

And on the third day Laban had news of Jacob's flight.

וַיֻּגַּ֥ד (וַ) va “and”

And taking the men of his family with him, he went after him for seven days and overtook him in the hill-country of Gilead.

וַיִּקַּ֤ח (וַ) va “and”וַיִּרְדֹּ֣ף (וַ) va “and”וַיַּדְבֵּ֥ק (וַ) va “and”

Then God came to Laban in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.

וַיָּבֹ֧א (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Now when Laban overtook him, Jacob had put up his tent in the hill-country; and Laban and his brothers put up their tents in the hill-country of Gilead.

וַיַּשֵּׂ֥ג (וַ) va “and”

And Laban said to Jacob, Why did you go away secretly, taking my daughters away like prisoners of war?

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַתִּגְנֹ֖ב (וַ) va. “and”וַתְּנַהֵג֙ (וַ) va. “and”

Why did you make a secret of your flight, not giving me word of it, so that I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with melody and music?

וַתִּגְנֹ֖ב (וַ) va. “and”וָֽאֲשַׁלֵּחֲךָ֛ (וָֽ) va. “and”

And Jacob, in answer, said to Laban, My fear was that you might take your daughters from me by force.

וַיַּ֥עַן (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent, and into the tents of the two servant-women, but they were not there; and he came out of Leah's tent and went into Rachel's.

וַיָּבֹ֨א (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּצֵא֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֖א (וַ) va “and”

Now Rachel had taken the images, and had put them in the camels' basket, and was seated on them. And Laban, searching through all the tent, did not come across them.

וַתְּשִׂמֵ֛ם (וַ) va. “and”וַתֵּ֣שֶׁב (וַ) va. “and”וַיְמַשֵּׁ֥שׁ (וַ) va “and”

And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry because I do not get up before you, for I am in the common condition of women. And with all his searching, he did not come across the images.

וַתֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”וַיְחַפֵּ֕שׂ (וַ) va “and”

Then Jacob was angry with Laban, and said, What crime or sin have I done that you have come after me with such passion?

וַיִּ֥חַר (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֣רֶב (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֤עַן (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

This was my condition, wasted by heat in the day and by the bitter cold at night; and sleep went from my eyes.

וַתִּדַּ֥ד (וַ) va. “and”

These twenty years I have been in your house; I was your servant for fourteen years because of your daughters, and for six years I kept your flock, and ten times was my payment changed.

וַתַּחֲלֵ֥ף (וַ) va. “and”

If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would have sent me away with nothing in my hands. But God has seen my troubles and the work of my hands, and this night he kept you back.

וַיּ֥וֹכַח (וַ) va “and”

Then Laban, answering, said, These women are my daughters and these children my children, the flocks and all you see are mine: what now may I do for my daughters and for their children?

וַיַּ֨עַן (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Come, let us make an agreement, you and I; and let it be for a witness between us.

וְהָיָ֥ה (וְ) ve. “and”

Then Jacob took a stone and put it up as a pillar.

וַיִּקַּ֥ח (וַ) va “and”וַיְרִימֶ֖הָ (וַ) va “and”

And Jacob said to his people, Get stones together; and they did so; and they had a meal there by the stones.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקְח֥וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ־ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֥אכְלוּ (וַ) va “and”

And the name Laban gave it was Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob gave it the name of Galeed.

וַיִּקְרָא־ (וַ) va “and”

And Laban said, These stones are a witness between you and me today. For this reason its name was Galeed,

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”
