Genesis 30:32-40
32Let me goH5674 through allH3605 your flocksH6629 todayH3117 and removeH5493 from themH8033 everyH3605 speckledH5348 or spottedH2921 sheepH7716, everyH3605 dark-coloredH2345 lambH7716H3775, and every spottedH2921 or speckledH5348 goatH5795. These will beH1961 my wagesH7939. 33So my honestyH6666 will testifyH6030 for me whenH3588 you come to checkH935H6440 onH5921 my wagesH7939 in the futureH3117H4279. If I haveH854 anyH3605 goatsH5795 thatH834 are notH369 speckledH5348 or spottedH2921, or any lambsH3775 that are not dark-coloredH2345, theyH1931 will be considered stolenH1589.”
34“AgreedH2005H3863,” saidH559 LabanH3837. “Let it beH1961 as you have saidH1697.”
35That veryH1931 dayH3117 Laban removedH5493 all the streakedH6124 or spottedH2921 male goatsH8495 andH853 everyH3605 speckledH5348 or spottedH2921 female goatH5795—every oneH3605 thatH834 had any whiteH3836 on it—and everyH3605 dark-coloredH2345 lambH3775, and he placed themH5414 under the careH3027 of his sonsH1121. 36Then he putH7760 a three-dayH7969H3117 journeyH1870 between himselfH996 and JacobH3290, while JacobH3290 was shepherdingH7462 the restH3498 of Laban’sH3837 flocksH6629.
37Jacob, howeverH3290, tookH3947 freshH3892 branchesH4731 of poplarH3839, almondH3869, and plane treesH6196, and peeledH6478 the bark, exposingH4286H3836 the whiteH3836 inner woodH6479 ofH5921 the branchesH4731. 38Then he setH3322 the peeledH6478 branchesH4731 in the wateringH4325 troughsH8268 in front ofH5227 the flocksH6629 coming inH935 to drinkH8354. So when the flocksH6629 were in heatH3179 and cameH935 to drinkH8354, 39theyH6629 matedH3179 in front ofH413 the branchesH4731. And they boreH3205 youngH6629 that were streakedH6124 or speckledH5348 or spottedH2921. 40JacobH3290 set apartH6504 the youngH3775, but madeH5414 theH6629 rest faceH6440H413 the streakedH6124 dark-coloredH3605H2345 sheep in Laban’sH3837 flocksH6629. Then he setH7896 his own stockH5739 apartH905 and did notH3808 put themH7896 withH5921 Laban’sH3837 animalsH6629.
