See how you translated this phrase in verse 21. Alternate translation: “in the mountain region called Gilead.” or “in the hill country called Gilead.”
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.
