Genesis 30:22-34
22And 1God remembered Rachel, and 2God listened to her, and opened her womb.
23And she conceived, and bore a son, and said, 3God has taken away my reproach.
24And she called his name Joseph; and said, Jehovah will add to me another son.
25And it came to pass when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my country.
26Give [me] my wives for whom I have served thee, and my children; that I may go away, for thou knowest my service which I have served thee.
27And Laban said to him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes — I have discovered that Jehovah has blessed me for thy sake.
28And he said, Appoint to me thy wages, and I will give it.
29And he said to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and what thy cattle has become with me.
30For it was little that thou hadst before me, and it is increased to a multitude, and Jehovah has blessed thee from the time I came; and now, when shall I also provide for my house?
31And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me anything. If thou doest this for me, I will again feed [and] keep thy flock:
32I will pass through all thy flock to-day, to remove thence all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and [that] shall be my hire.
33And my righteousness shall answer for me hereafter, when thou comest about my hire, before thy face: all that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, let that be stolen with me.
34And Laban said, Well, let it be according to thy word.
