And
the man became exceeding rich and had many sheep, maidservants,
menservants, camels and asses.
Chapter .xxxj.
And Iacob heard the words of Laban's sons how they said: Iacob
hath taken away all that was our father's, and of our father's
goods, hath he gotten all this honour. And Iacob beheld the
countenance of Laban, that it was not toward him as it was in
times past. And the LORD said unto Iacob: turn again into the land
of thy fathers and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee. Then
Iacob sent and called Rahel and Lea to the field unto his sheep,
and said unto them: I see your father's countenance, that it is
not toward me as in times past. Moreover the God of my father hath
been with me. And ye know how that I have served your father with
all my might. And your father hath deceived {disceaved} me and
changed my wages ten times: But God suffered him not to hurt me.
When he said the spotted shall be thy wages, then all the sheep
bare spotted. If he said, the streaked shall be thy reward, then
bare all the sheep streaked: thus hath God taken away your
father's cattle and given them me. For in bucking time, I lifted
up mine eyes and saw in a dream: and behold, the rams that bucked
the sheep were streaked, spotted and party.
