Genesis 30:27-36

27And LabanH3837 saidH559 unto him, If now I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in thine eyesH5869, tarry: for I have divinedH5172 that Jehovah hath blessedH1288 me for thy sake. 28And he saidH559, Appoint me thy wagesH7939, and I will giveH5414 it. 29And he saidH559 unto him, Thou knowest how I have servedH5647 thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me. 30For it wasH1961 littleH4592 which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased unto a multitudeH7230; and Jehovah hath blessedH1288 thee whithersoever I turned: and nowH6258 when shall I provide for mine own houseH1004 alsoH1571? 31And he saidH559, What shall I giveH5414 thee? And JacobH3290 saidH559, Thou shalt not giveH5414 me aught: if thou wilt do this thingH1697 for me, I will again feedH7462 thy flockH6629 and keepH8104 it. 32I will passH5674 through all thy flockH6629 to-day, removingH5493 from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheepH6629, and the spotted and speckled among the goatsH5795: and of such shall beH1961 my hireH7939. 33So shall my righteousnessH6666 answerH6030 for me hereafter, when thou shalt comeH935 concerning my hireH7939 that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goatsH5795, and black among the sheep, that, if found with me, shall be counted stolenH1589. 34And LabanH3837 saidH559, Behold, I would it might beH1961 according to thy wordH1697. 35And he removedH5493 that dayH3117 the he-goats that were ringstreaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had whiteH3836 in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of his sonsH1121; 36and he setH7760 threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH1870 betwixt himself and JacobH3290: and JacobH3290 fed the rest of Laban’s flocksH6629.
