20. Jacob also deceived Laban the Syrian by not telling him that he was fleeing.
21. So Jacob fled with all that he had, and he rose up and passed over the river and headed toward the mountains of Gilead.
22. Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.
23. He took his kinsmen with him and pursued him for seven days until he caught up with him in the mountains of Gilead.
24. But God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him, “Take care that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.”
25. Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent on the mountain, and Laban with his kinsmen pitched in the mountains of Gilead.
26. Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done that you have stolen away without my knowing and carried away my daughters like captives taken with the sword?
