And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Take heed that you speak not to Jacob either good or bad. ¶
Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brothers pitched in the mount of Gilead.
And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done, that you have stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
