on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
031:011 The angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob,' and I said,
'Here I am.'
031:012 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.
031:013 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.'"
031:014 Rachel and Leah answered him, "Is there yet any portion
or inheritance for us in our father's house?
031:015 Aren't we accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us,
and has also quite devoured our money.
031:016 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."
031:017 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels,
031:018 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.
031:019 Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole
the teraphim{teraphim were household idols that may have been
associated with inheritance rights to the household property.}
that were her father's.
031:020 Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn't tell him
that he was running away.
031:021 So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River,
and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
031:022 Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.
