Genesis 31:4-13
4So JacobH3290 sentH7971 word and calledH7121 RachelH7354 and LeahH3812 to his flockH6629 in the fieldH7704,
5and saidH559 to them, “1I seeH7200 your father’sH1 2attitudeH6440, that it is not friendly towardH413 me as it was beforeH8543, but 3the GodH430 of my fatherH1 has beenH1961 with me.
64You knowH3045 that I have servedH5647 your fatherH1 with allH3605 my strengthH3581.
7Yet your fatherH1 has 5cheatedH8524 me and 6changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 timesH4489; however, 7GodH430 did not allowH5414 him to doH7489 me harmH7489.
8IfH518 8he saidH559 thisH3541: ‘The speckledH5348 shall be your wagesH7939,’ then allH3605 the flockH6629 deliveredH3205 speckledH5348; and ifH518 he saidH559 thisH3541: ‘The stripedH6124 shall be your wagesH7939,’ then allH3605 the flockH6629 deliveredH3205 stripedH6124.
9So GodH430 has 9takenH5337 awayH5337 your father’sH1 livestockH4735 and givenH5414 them to me.
10And it cameH1961 aboutH1961 at the timeH6256 when the flockH6629 was breedingH3179 that I raisedH5375 my eyesH5869 and sawH7200 in a dreamH2472--and beholdH2009--the maleH6260 goatsH6260 that were 10matingH5927 were stripedH6124, speckledH5348, or mottledH1261.
11Then 11the angelH4397 of GodH430 saidH559 to me in the dreamH2472, ‘JacobH3290’; and I saidH559, ‘HereH2009 I am.’
12He saidH559, ‘NowH4994 raiseH5375 your eyesH5869 and seeH7200 that allH3605 the maleH6260 goatsH6260 that are 12matingH5927 are stripedH6124, speckledH5348, or mottledH1261; for 13I have seenH7200 everythingH3605 that LabanH3837 has been doingH6213 to you.
13I am 14the GodH410 of BethelH1008, whereH834H8033 you 15anointedH4886 a memorialH4676 stoneH4676, whereH834H8033 you madeH5087 a vowH5088 to Me; nowH6258 ariseH6965, 16leaveH3318H4480 thisH2088 landH776, and 17returnH7725 to the landH776 of your birthH4138.’”
