Genesis 30:28-34
28He 1continuedH559, “2NameH5344 me your wagesH7939, and I will giveH5414 them.”
29But Jacob saidH559 to him, “3You yourselfH859 knowH3045 howH854H834 I have servedH5647 you and howH854H834 your livestockH4735 have 4faredH1961 with me.
30For you hadH1961 littleH4592 beforeH6440 5I came, and it has 6increasedH6555 to a multitudeH7230, and the LordH3068 has blessedH1288 you 7wherever 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 8speckledH5348 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 9honestyH6666 will answerH6030 for me laterH4279H3117, whenH3588 you comeH935 concerningH5921 my 10wagesH7939. 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, “11GoodH2005, let it be according to your wordH1697.”
