창세기 32:36의 미드라쉬

Sefer HaYashar (midrash)

And Jacob placed into the hands of his sons all that was removed from Laban's flocks, and ‎Jacob attended to the remainder of Laban's flocks. And the servants of Isaac, which were sent ‎unto Jacob saw that Jacob would not return with them into the land of Canaan, and they went ‎away from him returning to the land of Canaan. But Deborah remained in Haran with Jacob, ‎and would not return to the land of Canaan with the servants of Isaac. And Deborah dwelt ‎with Jacob’s wives and children in Haran. And Jacob continued serving Laban for six more years ‎and whenever the sheep brought forth, Jacob removed from their midst all that were ‎speckled and spotted as he had agreed upon with Laban. And Jacob continued doing so for six ‎years, and the man increased exceedingly, and he possessed cattle, and man servants and ‎maid-servants, and camels and asses. And Jacob had two hundred herds of cattle, every head ‎of which was of a very large size, beautiful in appearance and very fruitful. And all the people ‎of the land desired to pro cure some of Jacob’s cattle, for it was very, very prosperous. And ‎many of the sons of man came to purchase some of Jacob’s stock and Jacob gave them a ‎sheep for a man-servant or for a maid-servant. Whatsoever Jacob asked from them they gave ‎him. And Jacob attained wealth, and honor, and possessions through these sales to the sons ‎of man; and the sons of Laban envied him on account of that distinction. And it came to pass ‎after some days, that Jacob heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying: Jacob hath taken away all ‎that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all his glory and the ‎Lord appeared unto Jacob at the end of six years saying unto him: Return into the land of thy ‎fathers and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee. Then Jacob rose up and set his sons and his ‎wives upon camels, and he went away to the land of Canaan, to his father Isaac. And Laban ‎knew nothing of Jacob’s leaving, for Laban was at that time away to shear his sheep. And ‎Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's, and she took and concealed them upon ‎the camel on which she sat. And this is the manner after which images like these were ‎prepared. They took a man that was the first born and put him to death and took all the hair ‎off his head, and then the head was salted with salt and anointed with oil. And afterwards ‎they took a small plate of copper or of gold and wrote “the name” upon it and placed the plate ‎under his tongue; and then the head was brought into the house and lights were kindled ‎around it, and they worshipped it and bowed down before it. And when they bowed down to ‎it the head spoke to them, concerning all that they would inquire of it, through the power of ‎‎“the name’” under its tongue. And some people make those images in the likeness of man, of ‎gold and of silver, and they go to them at certain times known to them, and the idols will ‎attract the power of the stars, and tell them all about future things. And the images which ‎Rachel stole from her father were of the latter kind. And Rachel stole those images of her ‎father so that he should not be able to ascertain whither Jacob had gone. And when Laban ‎returned home he asked for Jacob and his household and they could not be found, and he ‎went seeking his images to find out whither Jacob had gone. And Laban went to other images ‎and making inquiries they told him that Jacob had fled to the house of his father in Canaan.‎

Sefer HaYashar (midrash)

And Laban rose up and took all his brethen with him and all his servants, and he pursued Jacob ‎and he overtook him on mount Gilead. And Laban said to Jacob: What hast thou done, that ‎thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and hast carried away my daughters as captives taken ‎with the sword. Where fore didst thou flee away secretly, and hast not suffered me to kiss my ‎sons and my daughters and to send them away with gladness; and wherefore hast thou stolen ‎my gods? And Jacob replied: For I said, peradventure thou wouldst take the daughters from ‎me by force and now with whomsoever thou findest thy gods let him not live. And Laban ‎searched for the images, looking through the entire tent of Jacob and through all the furniture, ‎but he found them not. Laban said unto Jacob: Let us make a covenant, I and thou, and let it ‎be for a witness between me and thee. If thou shall afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take ‎other wives beside my daughters, and may the Lord be a witness between me and thee ‎concerning these things. And they gathered up stones and made of them a heap, and Laban ‎said: This heap is a witness between me and thee. And he called the name of that heap ‎Galeed. And Jacob and Laban offered up sacrifices on the mount, and they ate there together ‎by the heap of stones, and they remained there all night. And early in the morning Laban arose ‎and he wept over his daughters and he kissed them, and he returned to his home. And he ‎sent hastily his son Beor, who was then seventeen years of age, and with him Abihoref, the ‎son of Uz, the son of Nahor, and ten men, and they hastened and passed Jacob on the way, ‎and they went by another road to the land of Seir. And they came unto Esau, saying unto him: ‎Thus saith thy kinsman and relative Laban, thy mother's brother, the son of Bethuel: Hast thou ‎heard what thy brother hath done unto me? For he came naked unto my house, and I went to ‎meet him and I brought him with honors into my house. And I made him great, and I gave him ‎for wives my two daughters and two of my maid servants. And the Lord blessed him for my ‎sake, and he increased exceedingly, and he got sons and daughters and servants. And he hath ‎also procured great many flocks and herds, and camels and asses and gold and silver in great ‎plenty. And when he saw the abundance of his wealth, he went while I was away shearing my ‎sheep, and he ran away secretly. And he sat his wives and children upon camels and he took ‎along all his cattle and all the property which he hath gotten in my land, and turned his ‎countenance to go to Isaac his father into the land of Canaan.‎
