Bible. Genesis
01:031:010 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived,
that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold,
the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked,
speckled, and grisled.
01:031:011 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob:
And I said, Here am I.
01:031:012 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams
which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and
grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
01:031:013 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and
where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from
this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
01:031:014 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet
any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
01:031:015 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and
hath quite devoured also our money.
01:031:016 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that
is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath
said unto thee, do.
01:031:017 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon
camels;
01:031:018 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he
had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in
Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of
Canaan.
01:031:019 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the
images that were her father's.
01:031:020 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he
told him not that he fled.
01:031:021 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed
over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
01:031:022 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
01:031:023 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven
days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
01:031:024 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said
unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good
or bad.
01:031:025 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in
the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of
Gilead.
01:031:026 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast
stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as
captives taken with the sword?
01:031:027 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from
me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away
with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
01:031:028 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters?
thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
