Laban » Outwitted by jacob
Jacob took rods of green poplar, hazel, and of chestnut trees, and peeled white streaks in them and made the white appear in the staves: And he put the staves which he had peeled even before the sheep; in the gutters and watering troughs, when the sheep came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. And the sheep conceived before the staves, and brought forth streaked, spotted and party. read more.
Then Jacob parted the lambs, and turned the faces of the sheep toward spotted things, and toward all manner of black things throughout the flocks of Laban. And he made him flocks of his own by themself, which he put not unto the flocks of Laban. And always in the first bucking time of the sheep, Jacob put the staves before the sheep in the gutters, that they might conceive before the staves: But in the latter bucking time, he put them not there: so the last brood was Laban's and the first Jacob's. And the man became exceeding rich and had many sheep, maidservants, menservants, camels and asses.

And the man became exceeding rich and had many sheep, maidservants, menservants, camels and asses.
And Jacob heard the words of Laban's sons, how they said, "Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's, and of our father's goods, hath he gotten all this honour." And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, that it was not toward him as it was in times past. And the LORD said unto Jacob, "Turn again into the land of thy fathers and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee." read more.
Then Jacob sent and called Rachel 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 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. And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream saying, 'Jacob?' 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 Rachel 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 Jacob 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 Rachel had stolen her father's images. And Jacob went away unknowing to Laban the Syrian, 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.
Then Jacob sent and called Rachel 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.

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 Jacob 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.
