Genesis 31:1-16

31:1

And he heard
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

of Laban's
<03837>

sons
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Jacob
<03290>

hath taken away
<03947> (8804)

all that [was] our father's
<01>_;

and of [that] which [was] our father's
<01>

hath he gotten
<06213> (8804)

all this glory
<03519>_.

31:2

And Jacob
<03290>

beheld
<07200> (8799)

the countenance
<06440>

of Laban
<03837>_,

and, behold, it [was] not toward him as
<08543>

before
<08032>_.

{as before: Heb. as yesterday and the day before}

31:3

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

Return
<07725> (8798)

unto the land
<0776>

of thy fathers
<01>_,

and to thy kindred
<04138>_;

and I will be with thee.

31:4

And Jacob
<03290>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

Rachel
<07354>

and Leah
<03812>

to the field
<07704>

unto his flock
<06629>_,

31:5

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I see
<07200> (8802)

your father's
<01>

countenance
<06440>_,

that it [is] not toward me as
<08543>

before
<08032>_;

but the God
<0430>

of my father
<01>

hath been
<01961> (8804)

with me.

31:6

And ye
<0859>

know
<03045> (8804)

that with all my power
<03581>

I have served
<05647> (8804)

your father
<01>_.

31:7

And your father
<01>

hath deceived
<02048> (8765)

me, and changed
<02498> (8689)

my wages
<04909>

ten
<06235>

times
<04489>_;

but God
<0430>

suffered him
<05414> (8804)

not to hurt
<07489> (8687)

me
<05978>_.

31:8

If he said
<0559> (8799)

thus, The speckled
<05348>

shall be thy wages
<07939>_;

then all the cattle
<06629>

bare
<03205> (8804)

speckled
<05348>_:

and if he said
<0559> (8799)

thus, The ringstraked
<06124>

shall be thy hire
<07939>_;

then bare
<03205> (8804)

all the cattle
<06629>

ringstraked
<06124>_.

31:9

Thus God
<0430>

hath taken away
<05337> (8686)

the cattle
<04735>

of your father
<01>_,

and given
<05414> (8799)

[them] to me.

31:10

And it came to pass at the time
<06256>

that the cattle
<06629>

conceived
<03179> (8763)_,

that I lifted up
<05375> (8799)

mine eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

in a dream
<02472>_,

and, behold, the rams
<06260>

which leaped
<05927> (8802)

upon the cattle
<06629>

[were] ringstraked
<06124>_,

speckled
<05348>_,

and grisled
<01261>_.

{rams: or, he goats}

31:11

And the angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto me in a dream
<02472>_,

[saying], Jacob
<03290>_:

And I said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I.

31:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lift up
<05375> (8798)

now thine eyes
<05869>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)_,

all the rams
<06260>

which leap
<05927> (8802)

upon the cattle
<06629>

[are] ringstraked
<06124>_,

speckled
<05348>_,

and grisled
<01261>_:

for I have seen
<07200> (8804)

all that Laban
<03837>

doeth
<06213> (8802)

unto thee.

31:13

I [am] the God
<0410>

of Bethel
<01008>_,

where thou anointedst
<04886> (8804)

the pillar
<04676>_,

[and] where thou vowedst
<05087> (8804)

a vow
<05088>

unto me: now arise
<06965> (8798)_,

get thee out
<03318> (8798)

from this land
<0776>_,

and return
<07725> (8798)

unto the land
<0776>

of thy kindred
<04138>_.

31:14

And Rachel
<07354>

and Leah
<03812>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Is there] yet any portion
<02506>

or inheritance
<05159>

for us in our father's
<01>

house
<01004>_?

31:15

Are we not counted
<02803> (8738)

of him strangers
<05237>_?

for he hath sold
<04376> (8804)

us, and hath quite
<0398> (8800)

devoured
<0398> (8799)

also our money
<03701>_.

31:16

For all the riches
<06239>

which God
<0430>

hath taken
<05337> (8689)

from our father
<01>_,

that [is] ours, and our children's
<01121>_:

now then, whatsoever God
<0430>

hath said
<0559> (8804)

unto thee, do
<06213> (8798)_.
