"So God has taken away your father's cattle and has given them to me."
— Genesis 31:9, Bible in Basic English
“Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.”
And you have seen how I have done all in my power for your father,
But your father has not kept faith with me, and ten times he has made changes in my payment; but God has kept him from doing me damage.
If he said, All those in the flock which have marks are to be yours, then all the flock gave birth to marked young; and if he said, All the banded ones are to be yours, then all the flock had banded young.
So God has taken away your father's cattle and has given them to me.
And at the time when the flock were with young, I saw in a dream that all the he-goats which were joined with the she-goats were banded and marked and coloured.
And in my dream the angel of the Lord said to me, Jacob: and I said, Here am I.
And he said, See how all the he-goats are banded and marked and coloured: for I have seen what Laban has done to you.
