Genesis 31:7-12
7And although heH1 has cheatedH2048 me and changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 timesH4489, GodH430 has notH3808 allowed himH5414 to harm meH7489H5978. 8IfH518H3541 he saidH559, ‘The speckledH5348 will beH1961 your wagesH7939,’ then the wholeH3605 flockH6629 boreH3205 speckled offspringH5348. IfH518H3541 he saidH559, ‘The streakedH6124 will beH1961 your wagesH7939,’ then the wholeH3605 flockH6629 boreH3205 streaked offspringH6124. 9Thus GodH430 has taken awayH5337 your father’sH1 livestockH4735 and givenH5414 them to me.
WhenH6256 the flocksH6629 were breedingH3179, I sawH5375H5869H7200 in a dreamH2472H2009 that the streakedH6124, spottedH1261, and speckledH5348 malesH6260 were matingH5927 withH5921 the femalesH6629. 11In that dreamH2472 the angelH43971 of GodH430 saidH559 to meH413, ‘JacobH3290!’
And I repliedH559, ‘Here I amH2009.’
12‘Look upH5375H4994H5869,’ he saidH559, ‘and seeH7200 that allH3605 the malesH6260 that are matingH5927 withH5921 the flockH6629 are streakedH6124, spottedH1261, or speckledH5348; forH3588 I have seenH7200 allH3605 thatH834 LabanH3837 has doneH6213 to you.
