Genesis 31:4-13

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.

9And 3GodH430 has taken awayH5337 the cattle of your fatherH1, and givenH5414 [them] to me.

10And it came to pass at the timeH6256 of the ardour of the flocksH6629, that I liftedH5375 up mine eyesH5869, and sawH7200 in a dreamH2472, and behold, the rams that leaped upon the flocksH6629 wereH1961 ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.

11And the AngelH4397 of 4GodH430 saidH559 to me in a dreamH2472, JacobH3290! And I saidH559, HereH2009 am I.

12And he saidH559, LiftH5375 up now thine eyesH5869, and seeH7200: all the rams that leap upon the flockH6629 are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seenH7200 all that LabanH3837 does to thee.

13I am the 5GodH410 of Bethel, whereH834 thou anointedst the pillarH4676, whereH834 thou vowedst a vowH5088 to me. NowH6258 ariseH6965, depart out of this landH776, and returnH7725 to the landH776 of thy kindredH4138.
