16Surely all the wealth that God took away from our father belongs to us and our children. So do whatever God has told you.” 17Then Jacob put his children and his wives on camels,

18and he drove all his livestock ahead of him, along with all the goods he had accumulated in Paddan Aram, That is, Northwest Mesopotamia to go to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan. 19When Laban had gone to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household gods. 20Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him he was running away.

21So he fled with all he had, crossed the Euphrates River, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.
