01:031:001 And he heard the words of Laban’s
sons, saying, Jacob hath
taken
away all that was our father’s; and of that which
was
our
father’s hath he gotten all this glory.
01:031:002 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban,
and, behold, it was
not
toward him as before.
01:031:003 And the lord said unto Jacob, Return
unto the land of thy
fathers,
and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
01:031:004 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah
to the field unto
his
flock,
01:031:005 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.
01:031:006 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
01:031:007 And your father hath deceived me, and changed
my wages ten
times;
but God suffered him not to hurt me.
01:031:008 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.
01:031:009 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of
your father, and given
them
to me.
01:031:010 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.
01:031:011 And the angel of God spake unto me in a
dream, saying, Jacob:
And
I said, Here am I.
01:031:012 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.
01:031:013 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.
01:031:014 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto
him, Is there yet
any
portion or inheritance for us in our father’s
house?
01:031:015 Are we not counted of him strangers? for
he hath sold us, and
hath
quite devoured also our money.
01:031:016 For all the riches which God hath taken
from our father, that
is
ours, and our children’s: now then, whatsoever
God hath
said
unto thee, do.
01:031:017 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and
his wives upon
camels;
01:031:018 And he carried away all his cattle, and
all his goods which he
had
gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten
in
Padanaram,
for to go to Isaac his father in the land of
Canaan.
