Genesis 31:29

²⁷Whereas if thou hadst told me, I would have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, and timbrels, and harp.

²⁸And I was not counted worthy to embrace my children and my daughters; now then thou hast wrought foolishly.

— Genesis 31:29 —

³⁰Now then go on thy way, for thou hast earnestly desired to depart to the house of thy father; wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?

³¹And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid; for I said, Lest at any time thou shouldest take away thy daughters from me, and all my possessions.
