Genesis 31:8-41

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. 14And RachelH7354 and LeahH3812 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to him, Is there yet any portionH2506 or inheritanceH5159 for us in our father’sH1 houseH1004? 15Are we not countedH2803 by him strangersH5237? for he hath soldH4376 us, and hath quiteH398 consumedH398 also our moneyH3701. 16For all the richesH6239 which GodH430 hath takenH5337 from our fatherH1, that is ours, and our children’sH1121: now then, whatever GodH430 hath saidH559 to thee, doH6213.

17Then JacobH3290 aroseH6965, and setH5375 his sonsH1121 and his wivesH802 upon camelsH1581; 18And he carried awayH5090 all his cattleH4735, and all his goodsH7399 which he had gainedH7408, the cattleH4735 of his gettingH7075, which he had gainedH7408 in PadanaramH6307, to goH935 to IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 19And LabanH3837 wentH1980 to shearH1494 his sheepH6629: and RachelH7354 had stolenH1589 the imagesH8655 that were her father’sH1.2 20And JacobH3290 stole awayH1589 unawaresH3820 to LabanH3837 the SyrianH761, in thatH5921 he toldH5046 him notH1097 that he was fleeingH1272.3 21So he fledH1272 with all that he had; and he aroseH6965, and passed overH5674 the riverH5104, and setH7760 his faceH6440 toward the mountH2022 GileadH1568. 22And it was toldH5046 LabanH3837 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 that JacobH3290 had fledH1272. 23And he tookH3947 his brethrenH251 with him, and pursuedH7291 after himH310 sevenH7651 daysH3117’ journeyH1870; and they overtookH1692 him in the mountH2022 GileadH1568. 24And GodH430 cameH935 to LabanH3837 the SyrianH761 in a dreamH2472 by nightH3915, and saidH559 to him, Take heedH8104 that thou speakH1696 not toH5973 JacobH3290 either goodH2896 orH5704 badH7451.4

25Then LabanH3837 overtookH5381 JacobH3290. Now JacobH3290 had pitchedH8628 his tentH168 in the mountH2022: and LabanH3837 with his brethrenH251 pitchedH8628 in the mountH2022 of GileadH1568. 26And LabanH3837 saidH559 to JacobH3290, What hast thou doneH6213, that thou hast stolen awayH1589 unawaresH3824 to me, and carried awayH5090 my daughtersH1323, as captivesH7617 taken with the swordH2719? 27Why didst thou flee awayH1272 secretlyH2244, and steal awayH1589 from me; and didst not tellH5046 me, that I might have sent thee awayH7971 with mirthH8057, and with songsH7892, with timbrelH8596, and with harpH3658?5 28And hast not permittedH5203 me to kissH5401 my sonsH1121 and my daughtersH1323? thou hast now done foolishlyH5528 in so doingH6213. 29It isH3426 in the powerH410 of my handH3027 to doH6213 you harmH7451: but the GodH430 of your fatherH1 spokeH559 to me last nightH570, sayingH559, Take thou heedH8104 that thou speak notH1696 to JacobH3290 either goodH2896 or badH7451. 30And now, though thou wouldest needsH1980 be goneH1980, because thou didst earnestly longH3700 after thy father’sH1 houseH1004, yet why hast thou stolenH1589 my godsH430? 31And JacobH3290 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to LabanH3837, Because I was afraidH3372: for I saidH559, It may beH6435 thou wouldest take thy daughtersH1323 from me by forceH1497. 32With whomeverH834 thou findestH4672 thy godsH430, let him not liveH2421: beforeH5048 our brethrenH251 discernH5234 thou what is thine with me, and takeH3947 it to thee. For JacobH3290 knewH3045 not that RachelH7354 had stolenH1589 them. 33And LabanH3837 wentH935 into Jacob’sH3290 tentH168, and into Leah’sH3812 tentH168, and into the twoH8147 maidservantsH519’ tentsH168; but he foundH4672 them not. Then he went outH3318 of Leah’sH3812 tentH168, and enteredH935 into Rachel’sH7354 tentH168. 34Now RachelH7354 had takenH3947 the imagesH8655, and putH7760 them in the camel’sH1581 saddleH3733, and satH3427 upon them. And LabanH3837 searchedH4959 all the tentH168, but foundH4672 them not.6 35And she saidH559 to her fatherH1, Let it not displeaseH2734H5869 my lordH113 that I cannotH3201 rise upH6965 before theeH6440; for the customH1870 of womenH802 is upon me. And he searchedH2664, but foundH4672 not the imagesH8655.

36And JacobH3290 was angryH2734, and contendedH7378 with LabanH3837: and JacobH3290 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to LabanH3837, What is my trespassH6588? what is my sinH2403, that thou hast so hotly pursuedH1814 after meH310? 37ThoughH3588 thou hast searchedH4959 all my thingsH3627, what hast thou foundH4672 of all thy householdH1004 thingsH3627? setH7760 it hereH3541 before my brethrenH251 and thy brethrenH251, that they may judgeH3198 betweenH996 us bothH8147.7 38These twentyH6242 yearsH8141 have I been with thee; thy ewesH7353 and thy female goatsH5795 have not cast their youngH7921, and the ramsH352 of thy flockH6629 have I not eatenH398. 39That which was tornH2966 by beasts I broughtH935 not to thee; I bore the lossH2398 of it; of my handH3027 didst thou requireH1245 it, whether stolenH1589 by dayH3117, or stolenH1589 by nightH3915. 40Thus I was; in the dayH3117 the droughtH2721 consumedH398 me, and the frostH7140 by nightH3915; and my sleepH8142 departedH5074 from my eyesH5869. 41Thus have I been twentyH6242 yearsH8141 in thy houseH1004; I served theeH5647 fourteenH702H6240 yearsH8141 for thy twoH8147 daughtersH1323, and sixH8337 yearsH8141 for thy cattleH6629: and thou hast changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 timesH4489.
