LEAH, Flees with Jacob

Genesis 31:4-17

4. Jacob sent and called Rachel and LEAH to the field to his flock,
5. and said to them, "I see the expression on your father's face, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.
6. You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.
7. Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God didn't allow him to hurt me.
8. If he said this, 'The speckled will be your wages,' then all the flock bore speckled. If he said this, 'The streaked will be your wages,' then all the flock bore streaked.
9. Thus God has taken away your father's livestock, and given them to me.
10. During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.

12. He said, 'Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you.
13. I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.'"

15. Aren't we accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also quite devoured our money.
16. For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do."
17. Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels,

Genesis 33:2-7

2. He put the servants and their children in front, LEAH and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3. He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4. Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.
5. He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, "Who are these with you?"He said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."
6. Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.
7. LEAH also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
