11. In the dream God’s angel said to me, ‘Jacob!’ and I replied, ‘Here I am!’
12. Then he said: ‘Look up and see. All the he-goats that are mating are streaked, speckled and mottled, for I have seen all the things that Laban has been doing to you.
13. I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a sacred pillar and made a vow to me. Get up now! Leave this land and return to the land of your birth.’”
14. Rachel and Leah answered him: “Do we still have an heir’s portion in our father’s house?
15. Are we not regarded by him as outsiders? He not only sold us; he has even used up the money that he got for us!
16. All the wealth that God took away from our father really belongs to us and our children. So do whatever God has told you.”
17. Jacob proceeded to put his children and wives on camels,
18. and he drove off all his livestock and all the property he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.
19. Now Laban was away shearing his sheep, and Rachel had stolen her father’s household images.
20. Jacob had hoodwinked Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was going to flee.
