17 So Jacob arose and set his sons and his wives on camels. 18 He drove away all his livestock, all his property that he had gained, the livestock in his possession that he had acquired in ⁿPaddan-aram, to go to the land of Canaan to his father Isaac. 19 Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole her father’s ^ohousehold gods. 20 And Jacob tricked¹ Laban the Aramean, by not telling him that he intended to flee. 21 He fled with all that he had and arose and crossed the ^pEuphrates,² and ^qset his face toward the hill country of Gilead.
