Genesis 31:26-28

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁶ Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You have even stolen away my heart and carried away my daughters, as though they had been taken captives with the sword.

²⁷ “Why did you flee so secretly and steal away from me, and did not tell me, so that I might have sent you forth with mirth and with songs, with timbrel and with harp?

²⁸ “But you have not allowed me to kiss my sons and my daughters. Now, you have done foolishly in doing so.
