7 Yet your father has deceived me and achanged my wages bten times, but God cdid not allow him to hurt me.
8 If he said thus: ‘The speckled shall be your wages,’ then all the flocks bore speckled. And if he said thus: a‘The streaked shall be your wages,’ then all the flocks bore streaked.
9 So God has ataken away the livestock of your father and given them to me.
10 “And it happened, at the time when the flocks conceived, that I lifted my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams which leaped upon the flocks were streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted.
11 Then athe 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 aI have seen all that Laban is doing to you.
13 I am the God of Bethel, awhere you anointed the pillar and where you made a vow to Me. Now barise, get out of this land, and return to the land of your family.’ ”
14 Then Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, a“Is there still any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?
15 Are we not considered strangers by him? For ahe has sold us, and also completely consumed our money.
