God

And Laban saith unto him, `If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes--I have observed diligently that Jehovah doth bless me for thy sake.'

for it is little which thou hast had at my appearance, and it breaketh forth into a multitude, and Jehovah blesseth thee at my coming; and now, when do I make, I also, for mine own house?'

And Jehovah saith unto Jacob, `Turn back unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I am with thee.'

and saith to them, `I am beholding your father's face--that it is not towards me as heretofore, and the God of my father hath been with me,

and your father hath played upon me, and hath changed my hire ten times; and God hath not suffered him to do evil with me.

and God taketh away the substance of your father, and doth give to me.

and the messenger of God saith unto me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here am I.

`And He saith, Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see--all the he-goats which are going up on the flock are ring-streaked, speckled, and grisled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to thee;

I am the God of Bethel where thou hast anointed a standing pillar, where thou hast vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and turn back unto the land of thy birth.'

for all the wealth which God hath taken away from our father, it is ours, and our children's; and now, all that God hath said unto thee--do.'

And God cometh in unto Laban the Aramaean in a dream of the night, and saith to him, `Take heed to thyself lest thou speak with Jacob from good unto evil.'

my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father yesternight hath spoken unto me, saying, Take heed to thyself from speaking with Jacob from good unto evil.

unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now empty thou hadst sent me away; mine affliction and the labour of my hands hath God seen, and reproveth yesternight.'

Mizpah also, for he said, `Jehovah doth watch between me and thee, for we are hidden one from another;

if thou afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters--there is no man with us--see, God is witness between me and thee.'

the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, doth judge between us--the God of their father,' and Jacob sweareth by the Fear of his father Isaac.

And Jacob hath gone on his way, and messengers of God come upon him;

and Jacob saith, when he hath seen them, `This is the camp of God;' and he calleth the name of that place `Two Camps.'

And Jacob saith, `God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah who saith unto me, Turn back to thy land, and to thy kindred, and I do good with thee:

I have been unworthy of all the kind acts, and of all the truth which Thou hast done with thy servant--for, with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.

`Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, less he come and have smitten me--mother beside sons;

and Thou--Thou hast said, I certainly do good with thee, and have set thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the multitude.'

And he saith, `Thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast been a prince with God and with men, and dost prevail.'

And Jacob asketh, and saith, `Declare, I pray thee, thy name;' and he saith, `Why is this, thou askest for My name?' and He blesseth him there.

And Jacob calleth the name of the place Peniel: for `I have seen God face unto face, and my life is delivered;'
