Genesis 31:29 in Context — Genesis 31
27 Pourquoi as-tu pris la fuite en cachette, m’as-tu trompé, et ne m’as-tu point averti? Je t’aurais laissé partir au milieu des réjouissances et des chants, au son du tambourin et de la harpe.
28 Tu ne m’as pas permis d’embrasser mes fils et mes filles! C’est en insensé que tu as agi.
29 Ma main est assez forte pour vous faire du mal; mais le Dieu de votre père m’a dit hier: Garde-toi de parler à Jacob ni en bien ni en mal!
30 Maintenant que tu es parti, parce que tu languissais après la maison de ton père, pourquoi as-tu dérobé mes dieux?
31 Jacob répondit, et dit à Laban: J’avais de la crainte à la pensée que tu m’enlèverais peut-être tes filles.
