Genesis 31:1-21

31¹ And he heareth the words of Laban's sons, saying, 'Jacob hath taken all that our father hath; yea, from that which our father hath, he hath made all this honour;' ² and Jacob seeth the face of Laban, and lo, it is not with him as heretofore. ³ And Jehovah saith unto Jacob, 'Turn back unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I am with thee.' ⁴ And Jacob sendeth and calleth for Rachel and for Leah to the field unto his flock; ⁵ and saith to them, 'I am beholding your father's face—that it is not towards me as heretofore, and the God of my father hath been with me, ⁶ and ye—ye have known that with all my power I have served your father, ⁷ and your father hath played upon me, and hath changed my hire ten times; and God hath not suffered him to do evil with me. ⁸ 'If he say thus: The speckled are thy hire, then bare all the flock speckled ones; and if he say thus: The ring-straked are thy hire, then bare all the flock ring-straked; ⁹ and God taketh away the substance of your father, and doth give to me. ¹⁰ 'And it cometh to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up mine eyes and see in a dream, and lo, the he-goats, which are going up on the flock, 'are' ring-straked, speckled, and grisled; ¹¹ and the messenger of God saith unto me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here 'am' I. ¹² 'And He saith, Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see—all the he-goats which are going up on the flock 'are' ring-straked, speckled, and grisled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to thee; ¹³ I 'am' the God of Bethel where thou hast anointed a standing pillar, where thou hast vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and turn back unto the land of thy birth.' ¹⁴ And Rachel answereth—Leah also—and saith to him, 'Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father? ¹⁵ have we not been reckoned strangers to him? for he hath sold us, and he also utterly consumeth our money; ¹⁶ for all the wealth which God hath taken away from our father, it 'is' ours, and our children's; and now, all that God hath said unto thee—do.'

Jacob Flees from Laban

¹⁷ And Jacob riseth, and lifteth up his sons and his wives on the camels, ¹⁸ and leadeth all his cattle, and all his substance which he hath acquired, the cattle of his getting, which he hath acquired in Padan-Aram, to go unto Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan. ¹⁹ And Laban hath gone to shear his flock, and Rachel stealeth the teraphim which her father hath; ²⁰ and Jacob deceiveth the heart of Laban the Aramaean, because he hath not declared to him that he is fleeing; ²¹ and he fleeth, he and all that he hath, and riseth, and passeth over the River, and setteth his face 'toward' the mount of Gilead.
