Genesis 31

Jacob becomes deeply concerned over Laban's frequent change of his wages and his sons' jealousy of Jacob's wealth. God instructs Jacob to return to the Promised Land. Jacob, fearing Laban, secretly gathers his family and flocks and flees. Rachel steals Laban's household idols (teraphim). Laban pursues them, but God warns Laban not to harm Jacob. Laban searches unsuccessfully for the idols. They finally make a covenant of peace at Galeed (Mound of Witness), and Jacob resumes his journey home.
