Genesis 31:3-14
-
3 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
-
4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
-
5 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
-
6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
-
7 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
-
8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
-
9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
-
10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
-
11 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
-
12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
-
13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
-
14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
