Genesis 31:12

Jacob Flees from Laban

11In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’12‘Look up,’ he said, ‘and see that all the males that are mating with the flock are streaked, spotted, or speckled; for I have seen all that Laban has done to you.13I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and made a solemn vow to Me. Now get up and leave this land at once, and return to your native land.’”
