XXVI. Genesis, Chap. XXXI. 17. 20. 21. 23. 24. 25. 44. to 51.
Jacob's departure. Laban pursues him. God appears to Laban: He makes a Covenant with Jacob.
Full
twenty Years the happy Exile stay'd
In Harans Fields, his Labors well repay'd:
So well his faithful Industry was bless'd
His Flocks and Herds thro' all the Plains increas'd.
A num'rous Offspring crown'd his nuptial Bed,
Nor they the Scorn of Fools for want of Bread.
In Harans Fields, his Labors well repay'd:
So well his faithful Industry was bless'd
His Flocks and Herds thro' all the Plains increas'd.
A num'rous Offspring crown'd his nuptial Bed,
Nor they the Scorn of Fools for want of Bread.
Yet something still of Happiness behind:
His once dear Home he often call'd to mind,
And Father's House; fain wou'd he close his Eyes,
And see the aged Sire before he dies.
With Heav'n to Friend at length he homeward went,
Nor jealous Laban knew his Son's intent:
By gentle Journeys still to West he leads,
And Paths well known with his fair Troop he treads.
They thro' rough ways, thro' various Regions pass'd,
Euphrates cross'd and Bashans Fields, at last
Fair Gilead reach'd, he hopes the Danger's o'r,
His richly laden Bark in sight of Shore:
But angry Laban hears, and like the Wind
With his tempestuous Friends came swift behind;
The feeble Troop o'retake, and nothing breath
But Wrath and Vengeance, Slavery and Death:
Too late to fly, too weak to meet the Foe:
His once dear Home he often call'd to mind,
And Father's House; fain wou'd he close his Eyes,
And see the aged Sire before he dies.
With Heav'n to Friend at length he homeward went,
Nor jealous Laban knew his Son's intent:
By gentle Journeys still to West he leads,
And Paths well known with his fair Troop he treads.
They thro' rough ways, thro' various Regions pass'd,
Euphrates cross'd and Bashans Fields, at last

His richly laden Bark in sight of Shore:
But angry Laban hears, and like the Wind
With his tempestuous Friends came swift behind;
The feeble Troop o'retake, and nothing breath
But Wrath and Vengeance, Slavery and Death:
Too late to fly, too weak to meet the Foe:
But interposing Heav'n put by the Blow;
For God a Visionary Scene display'd,
And thus by Night to trembling Laban said:
“Touch not my Servant, my peculiar Care,
“And ev'n the least provoking Word forbear:
I'th' Morn they meet, and in a League combine,
Which ragged Heaps of Stones to after-Ages sign.
For God a Visionary Scene display'd,

“Touch not my Servant, my peculiar Care,
“And ev'n the least provoking Word forbear:
I'th' Morn they meet, and in a League combine,
Which ragged Heaps of Stones to after-Ages sign.
