14 Then Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we still have any share(A) in the inheritance of our father’s estate? 15 Does he not regard us as foreigners?(B) Not only has he sold us, but he has used up what was paid for us.(C) 16 Surely all the wealth that God took away from our father belongs to us and our children.(D) So do whatever God has told you.”
17 Then Jacob put his children and his wives(E) on camels,(F) 18 and he drove all his livestock ahead of him, along with all the goods he had accumulated(G) in Paddan Aram,[a](H) to go to his father Isaac(I) in the land of Canaan.(J)
19 When Laban had gone to shear his sheep,(K) Rachel stole her father’s household gods.(L)
