21 When Jacob crossed the River Euphrates and headed for the hill country of Gilead, he took with him everything he owned.
22 Three days later Laban found out that Jacob had gone.
23 So he took some of his relatives along and chased after Jacob for seven days, before catching up with him in the hill country of Gilead.
24 But God appeared to Laban in a dream that night and warned, “Don't say a word to Jacob. Don't make a threat or a promise.”
25 Jacob had set up camp in the hill country of Gilead, when Laban and his relatives came and set up camp in another part of the hill country. Laban went to Jacob
26 and said:Look what you've done! You've tricked me and run off with my daughters like a kidnapper.
27 Why did you sneak away without telling me? I would have given you a going-away party with singing and with music on tambourines and harps.
