Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Genesis 31
² And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
³ And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
⁴ And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
⁵ And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
⁶ And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
⁷ And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
⁸ If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ring-streaked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ring-streaked.
⁹ Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
¹⁰ And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
¹¹ And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
¹² And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
