Genesis 31:7-12

7And your fatherH1 hath deceived me, and changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 times; but GodH430 suffered him not to hurt me.

8If he saidH559 thusH3541, The speckled shall beH1961 thy wagesH7939; then all the flockH6629 bare speckled: and if he saidH559 thusH3541, The ringstreaked shall beH1961 thy wagesH7939; then bare all the flockH6629 ringstreaked.

9Thus GodH430 hath taken awayH5337 the cattle of your fatherH1, and givenH5414 them to me.

10And it came to pass at the timeH6256 that the flockH6629 conceive, that I liftedH5375 up mine eyesH5869, and sawH7200 in a dreamH2472, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flockH6629 wereH1961 ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled.

11And the angelH4397 of GodH430 saidH559 unto me in the dreamH2472, JacobH3290: and I saidH559, HereH2009 am I.

12And he saidH559, LiftH5375 up now thine eyesH5869, and seeH7200: all the he-goats which leap upon the flockH6629 are ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seenH7200 all that LabanH3837 doeth unto thee.
