Genesis 31:26-30

26 And Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have ^atricked me and driven away my daughters like captives of the sword? 27 Why did you flee secretly ^band trick me, and did not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with mirth and songs, with tambourine and lyre? 28 And why did you not permit me ^cto kiss my sons and my daughters farewell? Now you have done foolishly. 29 It is ^din my power to do you harm. But the ^eGod of your ^{▼▼The Hebrew for your is plural here} father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, ^geither good or bad.’ 30 And now you have gone away because you longed greatly for your father’s house, but why did you ^hsteal my gods?”
