Genesis 31:1-21

31¹ And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and of what was our father's he has acquired all this glory. ² And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold, it was not toward him as previously. ³ And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. ⁴ And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the fields to his flock, ⁵ and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as previously; 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 mocked me, and has changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me. ⁸ If he said thus; The speckled shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore speckled; and if he said thus: The ringstraked shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore ringstraked. ⁹ And God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given [them] to me. ¹⁰ And it came to pass at the time of the ardour of the flocks, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams that leaped upon the flocks were ringstraked, speckled, and spotted. ¹¹ And the Angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Here am I. ¹² And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see: all the rams that leap upon the flock are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban does to thee. ¹³ I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vow to me. Now arise, depart out of 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 reckoned of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has even constantly devoured our money. ¹⁶ For all the wealth that God has taken from our father is ours and our children's; and now whatever God has said to thee do.

Jacob Flees from Laban

¹⁷ And Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels, ¹⁸ and carried away all his cattle, and all his property that he had acquired—the cattle of his possessions that he had acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to Isaac his father, into the land of Canaan. ¹⁹ And Laban had gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that [belonged] to her father. ²⁰ And Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled. ²¹ And he fled with all that he had; and he rose up and passed over the river, and set his face [toward] mount Gilead.
