²⁶ And Lavan said to Ya’akov, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my banot, like shevuyot (captives) taken with the cherev?

²⁷ Why didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with simchah, and with shirim (songs), with tof (timbrel, tambourine) and with kinnor (harp)?

²⁸ And hast not allowed me to kiss my banim (grandchildren) and my banot? Thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
