Alternate translation: “Three days after they had left, someone informed Laban” or “Three days later Laban found out”

See how you translated “fleeing” and fled in verses 20-21. Alternate translation: “that Jacob and his family had run away.”
31:22-23 The theft of the idols (31:19) was probably the main reason that Laban and his men chased Jacob. It was one thing for Jacob to take his family and flocks—Laban probably still believed they were all his—but another matter entirely to take his household gods. Laban may have feared that Jacob would return someday to claim all of Laban’s estate. When he failed to find the gods, he asked for a treaty to keep Jacob away (31:43-53).
• It took Laban seven days to catch up with Jacob.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
