Genesis 30:25-36

25Now it came about when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, “1Send me away, that I may go to my own place and to my own country. 26Give me my wives and my children 2for whom I have served you, and let me depart; for you yourself know my service which I have 3rendered you.” 27But Laban said to him, “If now 4it pleases you, stay with me; I have divined 5that the Lord has blessed me on your account.” 28He 6continued, “7Name me your wages, and I will give it.” 29But he said to him, “8You yourself know how I have served you and how your cattle have 9fared with me. 30For you had little before 10I came and it has 11increased to a multitude, and the Lord has blessed you 12wherever I turned. But now, when shall I provide for my own household also?” 31So he said, “What shall I give you?” And Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this one thing for me, I will again pasture and keep your flock: 32let me pass through your entire flock today, removing from there every 13speckled and spotted sheep and every black 14one among the lambs and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be my wages. 33So my 15honesty will answer for me later, when you come concerning my 16wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, will be considered stolen.” 34Laban said, “17Good, let it be according to your word.” 35So he removed on that day the striped and spotted male goats and all the speckled and spotted female goats, every one with white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the 18care of his sons. 36And he put a distance of three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
