31 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.'
