Jacob Flees Padan-aram
Genesis 31:17-21
17
Then Ya'akov got up, put his sons and wives on the camels,
18
and carried off all his livestock, along with all the riches he had accumulated, the livestock in his possession which he had acquired in Paddan-Aram, to go to Yitz'chak his father in the land of Kena'an.
19
Now Lavan had gone to shear his sheep, so Rachel stole the household idols that belonged to her father,
20
and Ya'akov outwitted Lavan the Arami by not telling him of his intended flight.
21
So he fled with everything he had: he departed, crossed the [Euphrates] River and set out for the hill-country of Gil'ad.
