Genesis 31:9-13

9Thus God has 1taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.

10And it came about at the time when the flock were 2mating that I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which were 3mating were striped, speckled, and mottled.

11Then 4the 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 5mating are striped, speckled, and mottled; for 6I have seen all that Laban has been doing to you.

13I am 7the God of Bethel, where you 8anointed a pillar, where you made a vow to Me; now arise, 9leave this land, and 10return to the land of your birth.’”
