1He heard the words of Laban's sons saying, "Jacob has taken all that belongs to our father, and from what belongs to our father he has made all this glory."2And Jacob saw the face of Laban, and behold, it was not with him as it was yesterday and three days ago.3And the LORD said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers and to your birthplace, and I will be with you."4Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flock was.5He said to them, "I have observed your father's face, and it is not toward me as it was yesterday and the day before, but the God of my father has been with me."6And you—you know that with all my strength I served your father.7And your father deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not grant harm to me.8If he says, "Speckled shall be your reward," then all the flock gives birth to speckled; and if he says, "Striped shall be your reward," then all the flock gives birth to striped.9God has taken away your father's livestock and given it to me.10And it was at the time the flock was breeding, and I lifted my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the he-goats mounting the flock were banded, speckled, and striped.11And the angel of God said to me in a dream, "Jacob!" And I said, "Here I am!"12He said, "Lift up your eyes now and see: all the designated ones going up on the flock of sheep—striped, speckled, and spotted—because I have seen all that Laban is doing to you."13I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, go out from this land, and return to the land of your birthplace.14Rachel and Leah answered him, "Do we still have a portion and an inheritance in our father's house?"15Are we not reckoned to him as foreign women? For he sold us and he ate—also eating—our silver.16For all the wealth that God has rescued from our father is for us and for our sons. Now, all that God has said to you, do.17Jacob arose and carried his sons and his wives on the camels.18He drove all his livestock and all his acquired property which he had acquired, livestock of his acquisitions which he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to come to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.19Laban went to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole her father's teraphim.20Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he had fled.21He fled—he and all that was his—and he arose, crossed the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
