Context of Genesis 31:13

11In the dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ ‘Here I am!’ I replied. 12Then he said, ‘Observe that all the male goats mating with the flock are streaked, speckled, or spotted, for I have observed all that Laban has done to you. I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the sacred stone and made a vow to me. Now leave this land immediately and return to your native land.’” 14Then Rachel and Leah replied to him, “Do we still have any portion or inheritance in our father’s house? 15Hasn’t he treated us like foreigners? He not only sold us, but completely wasted the money paid for us!
