Genesis 31:1-6 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Now Jacob heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s, and he has gotten all his wealth from what was our father’s.”

2. Jacob saw the look of Laban and saw he was not congenial toward him as before.

3. Then the Lord said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, to your family, and I will be with you.”

4. So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flock was,

5. and said to them, “I see your father’s demeanor, that it is not congenial toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.

6. You know that with all my strength I have served your father.
