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.
