1 Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, “Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father and has gained all his wealth from him.”
2 He also noticed that Laban did not appear as friendly to him as before.
3 Then the Lord said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your ancestors and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”
4 So Jacob sent a message to Rachel and Leah to come out to the open country where his flocks were.
5 He said to them, “I have seen that your father isn’t as friendly to me as he was before, but the God of my father has been with me.
6 You know that I have worked as hard as I could for your father.
