Genesis 31:4-13

4So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to his flock in the field,

5and said to them, “1I see your father’s 2attitude, that it is not friendly toward me as formerly, but 3the God of my father has been with me.

64You know that I have served your father with all my strength.

7Yet your father has 5cheated me and 6changed my wages ten times; however, 7God did not allow him to hurt me.

8If 8he spoke thus, ‘The speckled shall be your wages,’ then all the flock brought forth speckled; and if he spoke thus, ‘The striped shall be your wages,’ then all the flock brought forth striped.

9Thus God has 9taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.

10And it came about at the time when the flock were 10mating that I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which were 11mating were striped, speckled, and mottled.

11Then 12the angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’

12He said, ‘Lift up now your eyes and see that all the male goats which are 13mating are striped, speckled, and mottled; for 14I have seen all that Laban has been doing to you.

13I am 15the God of Bethel, where you 16anointed a pillar, where you made a vow to Me; now arise, 17leave this land, and 18return to the land of your birth.’”
