Genesis 31:4-13
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.
