9. And it is God who has taken your father's substance and given it to me.
10. For after the time had arrived for the ewes to conceive, I lifted up my eyes, and I saw in my sleep that the males climbing on the females were of variegated, and spotted, and diverse colors.
11. And the Angel of God said to me in my sleep, 'Jacob.' And I responded, 'Here I am.'
12. And he said: 'Lift up your eyes, and see that all the males climbing on the females are variegated, spotted, and also speckled. For I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
13. I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the stone and made a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and depart from this land, returning to the land of your nativity.' "
14. And Rachel and Leah responded: "Have we anything left behind among the resources and inheritance of our father's house?
15. Has he not considered us as foreigners, and sold us, and consumed our price?

21. And when he had gone away with all such things that were justly his, and, having crossed the river, was continuing on toward Mount Gilead,

24. And he saw in a dream, God saying to him, "Beware that you not speak anything harsh against Jacob."
25. And now Jacob had pitched his tent at the mountain. And when he, with his brothers, had overtaken him, he set his tent at the same place at Mount Gilead.
26. And he said to Jacob: "Why have you acted this way, departing from me in secret, with my daughters like captives of the sword?
