Genesis 31:1-13

Genesis 31:1-13

[1] And he heard  the words  of Laban's  sons,  saying,  Jacob  hath taken away  all that was our father's;  hath he gotten  all this glory.  [2] And Jacob  beheld  the countenance  of Laban,  and, behold, it was not toward him as  before.  [3] And the LORD  said  unto Jacob,  Return  unto the land  of thy fathers,  and to thy kindred;  [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,  [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.
