Genesis 31:1-8

1And he heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of Laban's sonsH1121, sayingH559, JacobH3290 has takenH3947 awayH3947 all that was our father's, and of what was our father's he has acquired all this gloryH3519.

2And JacobH3290 sawH7200 the countenance of LabanH3837, and behold, it was not toward him as previously.

3And Jehovah saidH559 to JacobH3290, ReturnH7725 into the landH776 of thy fathersH1, and to thy kindredH4138; and I will beH1961 with thee.

4And JacobH3290 sentH7971 and calledH7121 RachelH7354 and LeahH3812 to the fieldsH7704 to his flockH6629,

5and saidH559 to them, I seeH7200 your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as previously; but the 1GodH430 of my fatherH1 has beenH1961 with me.

6And you knowH3045 that with all my powerH3581 I have servedH5647 your fatherH1.

7And your fatherH1 has mocked me, and has changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 times; but 2GodH430 suffered him not to hurt me.

8If he saidH559 thusH3541; The speckled shall beH1961 thy hireH7939, then all the flocksH6629 boreH3205 speckled; and if he saidH559 thusH3541: The ringstraked shall beH1961 thy hireH7939, then all the flocksH6629 boreH3205 ringstraked.
