Genesis 30:25-34
25Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961, whenH3512 RachelH7354 had givenH3205 birthH3205 to JosephH3130, that JacobH3290 saidH559 to LabanH3837, “1SendH7971 me awayH7971, so that I may goH1980 to my own placeH4725 and to my own countryH776.
26GiveH5414 me my wivesH802 and my childrenH3206 2for whomH834 I have servedH5647 you, and let me goH1980; for you yourselfH859 knowH3045 my serviceH5656 whichH834 I have 3renderedH5647 you.”
27But LabanH3837 saidH559 to him, “IfH518 4it pleasesH4672H2580 you atH4994 allH4994, stay with me; I have determinedH5172 byH5172 divinationH5172 5that the LordH3068 has blessedH1288 me on your accountH1558.”
28He 6continuedH559, “7NameH5344 me your wagesH7939, and I will giveH5414 them.”
29But Jacob saidH559 to him, “8You yourselfH859 knowH3045 howH854H834 I have servedH5647 you and howH854H834 your livestockH4735 have 9faredH1961 with me.
30For you hadH1961 littleH4592 beforeH6440 10I came, and it has 11increasedH6555 to a multitudeH7230, and the LordH3068 has blessedH1288 you 12wherever I turnedH7272. But nowH6258, whenH4970 shall I provideH6213 for my own householdH1004 alsoH1571?”
31So he saidH559, “WhatH4100 shall I giveH5414 you?” And JacobH3290 saidH559, “You shall not giveH5414 me anythingH3972. IfH518 you will doH6213 thisH2088 one thingH1697 for me, I will againH7725 pastureH7462 and keepH8104 your flockH6629:
32let me passH5674 through your entireH3605 flockH6629 todayH3117, removingH5493 from thereH8033 everyH3605 13speckledH5348 or spottedH2921 sheepH7716 and everyH3605 blackH2345 sheepH7716 among the lambsH3775, and the spottedH2921 or speckledH5348 among the goatsH5795; and those shall be my wagesH7939.
33So my 14honestyH6666 will answerH6030 for me laterH4279H3117, whenH3588 you comeH935 concerningH5921 my 15wagesH7939. EveryH3605 oneH3605 that is not speckledH5348 or spottedH2921 among the goatsH5795, or blackH2345 among the lambsH3775, if found with me, will be considered stolenH1589.”
34LabanH3837 saidH559, “16GoodH2005, let it be according to your wordH1697.”
