Genesis 31:1-13

1And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and of what was our father's he has acquired all this glory.

2And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold, it was not toward him as previously.

3And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.

4And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the fields to his flock,

5and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as previously; but the 1God of my father has been with me.

6And you know that with all my power I have served your father.

7And your father has mocked me, and has changed my wages ten times; but 2God suffered him not to hurt me.

8If he said thus; The speckled shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore speckled; and if he said thus: The ringstraked shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore ringstraked.

9And 3God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given [them] to me.

10And it came to pass at the time of the ardour of the flocks, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams that leaped upon the flocks were ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.

11And the Angel of 4God said to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Here am I.

12And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see: all the rams that leap upon the flock are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban does to thee.

13I am the 5God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vow to me. Now arise, depart out of this land, and return to the land of thy kindred.
