9. Thus God has taken away the flocks of your father and given them to me.
10. And I had a dream at the time the flock conceived. I looked up and saw that the rams which mated with the she-goats were streaked, speckled, and spotted.
11. And the Angel of God said to me in the dream, Jacob. And I said, Here am I.
12. And He said, Look up and see, all the rams which mate with the flock are streaked, speckled, and mottled; for I have seen all that Laban does to you.
13. I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and where you vowed a vow to Me. Now arise, get out from this land and return to your native land.
14. And Rachel and Leah answered him, Is there any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
15. Are we not counted by him as strangers? For he sold us and has also quite devoured our money [the price you paid for us].
16. For all the riches which God has taken from our father are ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do it.
17. Then Jacob rose up and set his sons and his wives upon the camels;
18. And he drove away all his livestock and all his gain which he had gotten, the livestock he had obtained and accumulated in Padan-aram, to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
19. Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep [possibly to the feast of sheepshearing], and Rachel stole her father's household gods.
20. And Jacob outwitted Laban the Syrian [Aramean] in that he did not tell him that he [intended] to flee and slip away secretly.
21. So he fled with all that he had, and arose and crossed the river [Euphrates] and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead.
22. But on the third day Laban was told that Jacob had fled.
23. So he took his kinsmen with him and pursued after [Jacob] for seven days, and they overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
24. But God came to Laban the Syrian [Aramean] in a dream by night and said to him, Be careful that you do not speak from good to bad to Jacob [peaceably, then violently].
25. Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent on the hill, and Laban coming with his kinsmen pitched [his tents] on the same hill of Gilead.
