And he and the men who were with him ate and drank and stayed the night. And they arose in the morning, and he said, Send me away to my master.

And he said to them, Do not delay me, since Jehovah has prospered my way; send me away so that I may go to my master.

And Jehovah went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

And early in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his sons and daughters and blessed them. And Laban departed and returned to his place.

And Abraham said to him, Beware that you do not take my son back there.

Jehovah the God of Heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, To your seed I give this land, He will send His Angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and where you vowed a vow to Me. Now arise, get out of this land, and return to the land of your kindred.
