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 has been with me.
6. And you know that with all my power I have served your father.
7. And your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God permitted him not to hurt me.
8. If he said thus, The speckled shall be your wages; then all the cattle bore speckled: and if he said thus, The striped shall be your wages; then bore all the flock striped.
9. Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
10. And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceived, that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the flock were striped, speckled, and spotted.
11. And the angel of God spoke unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
12. And he said, Lift up now your eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are striped, speckled, and spotted: for I have seen all that Laban does unto you.
13. I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar, and where you vowed a vow unto me: now arise, get you out from this land, and return unto the land of your 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?
15. Are we not counted of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has quite devoured also our money.
16. For all the riches which God has taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God has said unto you, do.
17. Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
18. 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 Paddanaram, to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
19. And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
20. And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Aramean, in that he told him not that he fled.
21. So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
22. And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
23. And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
