ગુજરાતીઉત્પત્તિ ૩૧:૨૭
શા માટે છાનોમાનો નાસી જાય છે? તેં કુયુક્તિથી મને અજાણ રાખ્યો છે. હું ગીતોથી, ખંજરીથી તથા વીણા વગાડીને ઊજવણી કરીને તને વિદાય આપત.
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति ३१:२७
तू क्यों चुपके से भाग आया, और मुझसे बिना कुछ कहे मेरे पास से चोरी से चला आया; नहीं तो मैं तुझे आनन्द के साथ मृदंग और वीणा बजवाते, और गीत गवाते विदा करता?

In context

25Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain of Gilead.

26Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?

27Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;

28and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly.

29It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.’
