¶ And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that [was] our father's; and of [that] which [was] our father's hath he gotten all this glory.
And he heard {H8085} the words {H1697} of Laban's {H3837} sons {H1121}, saying {H559}, Jacob {H3290} hath taken away {H3947} all that was our father's {H1}; and of that which was our father's {H1} hath he gotten {H6213} all this glory {H3519}.
But then he heard what Lavan's sons were saying: "Ya'akov has taken away everything that our father once had. It's from what used to belong to our father that he has gotten so rich."
Now Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, “Jacob has taken away all that belonged to our father and built all this wealth at our father’s expense.”
And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s hath he gotten all this glory.
