And the angel of God
spake unto me in a dream saying: Iacob?. And I answered: here am
I. And he said: lift up thine eyes and see how all the rams that
leap upon the sheep are streaked, spotted and party: for I have
seen all that Laban doth unto thee. I am the God of Bethel where
thou anointedest the stone and where thou vowdest a vow unto me.
Now arise and get thee out of this country, and return unto the
land where thou wast born. Then answered Rahel and Lea and said
unto him: we have no part nor inheritance in our father's house:
he counteth us even as strangers, for he hath sold us, and hath
even eaten up the price of us. Moreover all the riches which God
hath taken from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now
therefore whatsoever God hath said unto thee, that do. Then Iacob
rose up and set his sons and wives up upon camels, and carried
away all his cattle and all his substance which he had gotten in
Mesopotamia, for to go to Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan
Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rahel had stolen her
father's images. And Iacob went away unknowing to {Iacob stale
away the heart of} Laban the Sirian, and told him not that he
fled. So fled he and all that he had, and made himself ready, and
passed over the rivers, and set his face straight toward the mount
Gilead.
