Genesis 31:10-21 World English Bible (WEB)

10. During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.

11. The angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’

12. He said, ‘Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you.

13. I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.’”

14. Rachel and Leah answered him, “Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?

15. Aren’t we accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also quite devoured our money.

16. For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do.”

17. Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels,

18. and he took away all his livestock, and all his possessions which he had gathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.

19. Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father’s.

20. Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away.

21. So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
