Obstructed
Jacob, after years of toil and deceit under Laban, finds himself accused of stealing Laban’s wealth and glory. In a dream, God commands Jacob to leave for his homeland, promising divine protection, and Jacob flees with his family and possessions. Laban, enraged by the sudden departure and the theft of his household gods, pursues Jacob, only to be warned by God to do no harm. When they finally confront each other on the mountain of Gilead, they make a tense truce, swearing a covenant of peace before the Lord, with ancient stones as their witness amidst a land once ruled by giants.

5 And said unto them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
7 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
11 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?
15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.
16 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.

Instructions on how images are made and used
Jasher 31:41-43
41 And this is the manner of the images; in taking a man who is the first born and slaying him and taking the hair off his head, and taking salt and salting the head and anointing it in oil, then taking a small tablet of copper or a tablet of gold and writing the name upon it, and placing the tablet under his tongue, and taking the head with the tablet under the tongue and putting it in the house, and lighting up lights before it and bowing down to it.
42 And at the time when they bow down to it, it speaketh to them in all matters that they ask of it, through the power of the name which is written in it.
43 And some make them in the figures of men, of gold and silver, and go to them in times known to them, and the figures receive the influence of the stars, and tell them future things, and in this manner were the images which Rachel stole from her father.

28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
Jasher 31:47-48
47 And Laban said unto Jacob, What is this thou hast done to me to flee and deceive me, and lead my daughters and their children as captives taken by the sword?

37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
38 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
39 That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?

This land used to belong to the Rephaim giants but was destroyed by YHWH

10 And their habitation was from the land of the children of Ammon to Mount Hermon, and the seats of their kingdom were Karnaim and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, and Misur, and Beon.
11 And the Lord destroyed them because of the evil of their deeds; for they were very malignant, and the Amorites dwelt in their stead, wicked and sinful, and there is no people to-day which has wrought to the full all their sins, and they have no longer length of life on the earth.
i. Jubilees 29:5 says it took Laban 7 weeks to catch up with Jacob whereas Genesis 31:23 says it took 7 days.

Why did you flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and did not tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp? And have not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? You have now done foolishly in so doing. It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Take heed that you speak not to Jacob either good or bad.’ And now, though you would needs be gone, because you sore long after your father’s house, yet why have you stolen my gods?”

And he searched but found not the images.
Jacob chided with Laban

And Jacob was wroth, and chided with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have so hotly pursued after me? Whereas you have searched all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my brothers and your brothers, that they may judge between us both. This 20 years I have been with you; your ewes and your she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of your flock have I not eaten. That which was torn of beasts I brought not to you; I bare the loss of it; of my hand did you require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night. Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from my eyes. Thus have I been 20 years in your house; I served you 14 years for your 2 daughters, and 6 years for your cattle: and you have changed my wages 10 times. Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely you had sent me away now empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands and rebuked you last night.”
And Laban answered and said to Jacob, “These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that you see is mine: and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children which they have born?”

And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. And Laban said, “This heap is a witness between me and you this day.”
Therefore the name of it called Galeed (Gilead), And Mizpah; for he said, “The LORD watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another. We will make a covenant together and it will be a testimony between me and you. If you afflict my daughters, or if you take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness between me and you.”
Jacob and Laban finish with the covenant
Genesis 31:49-53
And Laban said to Jacob, “Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast between me and you: This heap is witness, and this pillar is witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm. The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.”
And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
This land used to belong to the Rephaim giants but was destroyed by YHWH
Jubilees 29:9-11
But before they used to call the land of Gilead the land of the Rephaim; for it was the land of the Rephaim, and the Rephaim were born there, giants whose height was 10, 9, 8 down to 7 cubits. And their habitation was from the land of the children of Ammon to Mount Hermon, and the seats of their kingdom were Karnaim Ashtaroth, Edrei, Misur, and Beon. And the Lord destroyed them because of the evil of their deeds; for they were very malignant, and the Amorites dwelled in their stead, wicked and sinful, and there are no people today which has wrought to the full all their sins, and they have no longer length of life on the earth.
