Genesis 30:32-40
32let me passH5674 through your entireH3605 flockH6629 todayH3117, removingH5493 from thereH8033 everyH3605 1speckledH5348 and spottedH2921 sheepH7716 and everyH3605 blackH2345 2oneH7716 among the lambsH3775 and the spottedH2921 and speckledH5348 among the goatsH5795; and such shall be my wagesH7939. 33So my 3honestyH6666 will answerH6030 for me laterH4279H3117, whenH3588 you comeH935 concerningH5921 my 4wagesH7939. EveryH3605 oneH3605 that is not speckledH5348 and spottedH2921 among the goatsH5795 and blackH2345 among the lambsH3775, if found with me, will be considered stolenH1589.” 34LabanH3837 saidH559, “5GoodH2005, let it be according to your wordH1697.” 35So he removedH5493 on that dayH3117 the stripedH6124 and spottedH2921 maleH8495 goatsH8495 and allH3605 the speckledH5348 and spottedH2921 femaleH5795 goatsH5795, everyH3605 oneH3605 with whiteH3836 in it, and allH3605 the blackH2345 onesH2345 among the sheepH3775, and gaveH5414 them into the 6careH3027 of his sonsH1121. 36And he putH7760 a distance of threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH1870 betweenH996 himself and JacobH3290, and JacobH3290 fedH7462 the restH3498 of Laban’sH3837 flocksH6629.
37Then JacobH3290 7tookH3947 freshH3892 rodsH4731 of poplarH3839 and almondH3869 and planeH6196 treesH6196, and peeledH6478 whiteH3836 stripesH6479 in them, exposingH4286 the whiteH3836 whichH834 was 8in the rodsH4731. 38He setH3322 the rodsH4731 whichH834 he had peeledH6478 in frontH5227 of the flocksH6629 in the guttersH7298, even in the wateringH4325 troughsH8268, whereH834 the flocksH6629 cameH935 to drinkH8354; and they 9matedH2552 when they cameH935 to drinkH8354. 39So the flocksH6629 10matedH2552 by the rodsH4731, and the flocksH6629 broughtH3205 forthH3205 stripedH6124, speckledH5348, and spottedH2921. 40JacobH3290 separatedH6504 the lambsH3775, and 11madeH5414 the flocksH6629 faceH6440 towardH413 the stripedH6124 and allH3605 the blackH2345 in the flockH6629 of LabanH3837; and he putH7896 his own herdsH5739 apartH905, and did not putH7896 them with Laban’sH3837 flockH6629.
