Genesis 31:7-12
7Yet your father has 1cheated me and 2changed my wages ten times; however, 3God did not allow him to do me harm.
8If 4he said this: ‘The speckled shall be your wages,’ then all the flock delivered speckled; and if he said this: ‘The striped shall be your wages,’ then all the flock delivered striped.
9So God has 5taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.
10And it came about at the time when the flock was breeding that I raised my eyes and saw in a dream--and behold--the male goats that were 6mating were striped, speckled, or mottled.
11Then 7the angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob’; and I said, ‘Here I am.’
12He said, ‘Now raise your eyes and see that all the male goats that are 8mating are striped, speckled, or mottled; for 9I have seen everything that Laban has been doing to you.
