Genesis 31:5-13
5And saidH559 to them, I seeH7200 your father’sH1 countenanceH6440, that it is not toward me asH8543 beforeH8032; but the GodH430 of my fatherH1 hath beenH1961 with me.
6And yeH859 knowH3045 that with all my powerH3581 I have servedH5647 your fatherH1.
7And your fatherH1 hath deceivedH2048 me, and changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 timesH4489; but GodH430 allowed himH5414 not to hurtH7489 meH5978.
8If he saidH559 thus, The speckledH5348 shall be thy wagesH7939; then all the cattleH6629 boreH3205 speckledH5348: and if he saidH559 thus, The stripedH6124 shall be thy hireH7939; then all the cattleH6629 boreH3205 stripedH6124.
9Thus GodH430 hath taken awayH5337 the cattleH4735 of your fatherH1, and givenH5414 them to me.
10And it came to pass at the timeH6256 that the cattleH6629 conceivedH3179, that I lifted upH5375 my eyesH5869, and sawH7200 in a dreamH2472, and, behold, the ramsH6260 which leapedH5927 upon the cattleH6629 were stripedH6124, speckledH5348, and spottedH1261.1
11And the angelH4397 of GodH430 spokeH559 to me in a dreamH2472, saying, JacobH3290: And I saidH559, Here am I.
12And he saidH559, Lift upH5375 now thy eyesH5869, and seeH7200, all the ramsH6260 which leapH5927 upon the cattleH6629 are stripedH6124, speckledH5348, and spottedH1261: for I have seenH7200 all that LabanH3837 doethH6213 to thee.
13I am the GodH410 of BethelH1008, where thou didst anointH4886 the pillarH4676, and where thou didst vowH5087 to me a vowH5088: now ariseH6965, departH3318 from this landH776, and returnH7725 to the landH776 of thy kindredH4138.
