Genesis 31:27 in Context — Genesis 31
25 Alcanzó pues Labán á Jacob, y éste había fijado su tienda en el monte: y Labán plantó[la] con sus hermanos en el monte de Galaad.
26 Y dijo Labán á Jacob: ¿Qué has hecho, que me hurtaste el corazón, y has traído á mis hijas como prisioneras de guerra?
27 ¿Por qué te escondiste para huir, y me hurtaste, y no me diste noticia, para que yo te enviara con alegría y con cantares, con tamborín y vihuela?
28 Que aun no me dejaste besar mis hijos y mis hijas. Ahora locamente has hecho.
29 Poder hay en mi mano para haceros mal: mas el Dios de vuestro padre me habló anoche diciendo: Guárdate que no hables á Jacob descomedidamente.
