1And he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, "Jacob has taken all that belongs to our father, and from that which belongs to our father he has made all this glory."2Jacob saw the face of Laban, and behold, it was not with him as yesterday or three days ago.3The LORD said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your father and to your relatives, and I will be with you."4Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field toward his flock.5He said to them, "I see the face of your father, for he is not toward me as yesterday or three days ago, and the God of my father has been with me.6You know that with all my strength I served your father.7Your father deceived me and changed my wage ten times, and God did not permit him to do evil with me.8If thus he says, 'Speckled shall be your wage,' then all the flock bears speckled; and if thus he says, 'Striped shall be your wage,' then all the flock bears striped.9God rescued the livestock of your father and gave it to me.10It was at the time when the flock conceived, and I lifted my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the goats rising upon the flock, striped, speckled, and spotted.11The messenger of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob,' and I said, 'Here I am.'12He said, 'Lift your eyes please and see all the goats rising upon the flock, striped, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen all which Laban does to you.'13I am the God of Bethel where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me; now arise, come out from this land, and return to the land of your relatives.'"14Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, "Is there still a portion and inheritance for us in the house of our father?15Are we not counted as foreign to him, for he sold us and also eats our silver?16For all the riches which God rescued from our father belong to us and to our sons, and now do all which God says to you."17Jacob arose and set his sons and his wives on the camels.18He led all his livestock and all his property which he had gathered—the livestock and acquisition which he had gathered in Paddan-aram—to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.19Laban went to shear his flock, and Rachel stole the teraphim which belong to her father.20Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was fleeing.21He fled with all that belongs to him, and he arose and passed the River and set his face toward the mount of Gilead.
