Genesis 31:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 On the third day Laban was informed that Jacob had fled.

23 So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.

24 But that night God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream and warned him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.”

25 Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there as well.

26 Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You have deceived me and carried off my daughters like captives of war!
