Genesis 31:9-21 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

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 my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled.

11. And the angel of God spoke to me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.

12. And he said, Lift up now thy eyes and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth to thee.

13. I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst to me a vow: now arise, depart from this land, and return to the land of thy kindred.

14. And Rachel and Leah answered, and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

15. Are we not counted by him strangers; for he hath sold us, and hath quite consumed also our money.

16. For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then whatever God hath said to thee, do.

17. Then Jacob arose, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;

18. And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gained, the cattle of his getting, which he had gained in Padan-aram; 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 Syrian, in that he told him not that he was about to depart.

21. So he fled with all that he had; and he arose, and passed over the river, and set his face towards the mount Gilead.
