11
Then the Angel of God spoke to me in a dream, saying, 'Jacob.' And I said, 'Here I am.'
12
And He said, 'Lift your eyes now and see, all the rams which leap on the flocks are streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted; for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.
13
I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and where you made a vow to Me. Now arise, get out of this land, and return to the land of your family.' "
14
Then Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, "Is there still any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
15
Are we not considered strangers by him? For he has sold us, and also completely consumed our money.
16
For all these riches which God has taken from our father are really ours and our children's; now then, whatever God has said to you, do it."
17
Then Jacob rose and set his sons and his wives on camels.
18
And he carried away all his livestock and all his possessions which he had gained, his acquired livestock which he had gained in Padan Aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.
19
Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel had stolen the household idols that were her father's.
20
And Jacob stole away, unknown to Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he intended to flee.
21
So he fled with all that he had. He arose and crossed the river, and headed toward the mountains of Gilead.
