Genesis 30:32-43
32let me passH5674 through your entireH3605 flockH6629 todayH3117, removingH5493 from thereH8033 everyH3605 1speckledH5348 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 2honestyH6666 will answerH6030 for me laterH4279H3117, whenH3588 you comeH935 concerningH5921 my 3wagesH7939. 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, “4GoodH2005, let it be according to your wordH1697.” 35So he removedH5493 on that dayH3117 the stripedH6124 or spottedH2921 maleH8495 goatsH8495, and allH3605 the speckledH5348 or spottedH2921 femaleH5795 goatsH5795, everyH3605 oneH3605 with whiteH3836 on it, and allH3605 the blackH2345 onesH2345 among the sheepH3775, and putH5414 them in the 5careH3027 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 6tookH3947 freshH3892 rodsH4731 of poplarH3839, almondH3869, and planeH6196 treesH6196, and peeledH6478 whiteH3836 stripesH6479 in them, exposingH4286 the whiteH3836 that was 7in the rodsH4731. 38He setH3322 the rodsH4731 whichH834 he had peeledH6478 in frontH5227 of the flocksH6629 in the drinkingH7298 troughsH7298, that is, in the wateringH4325 channelsH8268 whereH834 the flocksH6629 cameH935 to drinkH8354; and they matedH3179 when they cameH935 to drinkH8354. 39So the flocksH6629 matedH3179 by the rodsH4731, and the flocksH6629 deliveredH3205 stripedH6124, speckledH5348, and spottedH2921 offspring. 40Then JacobH3290 separatedH6504 the lambsH3775, and 8madeH5414 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. 41Moreover, wheneverH3605 the strongerH7194 of the flockH6629 were matingH3179, JacobH3290 would placeH7760 the rodsH4731 in the sightH5869 of the flockH6629 in the drinkingH7298 troughsH7298, so that they would mateH3179 by the rodsH4731; 42but when the flockH6629 was sicklyH5848, he did not putH7760 them in; so the sicklyH5848 were Laban’sH3837, and the strongerH7194 were Jacob’sH3290. 43So 9the manH376 10becameH6555 exceedinglyH3966 prosperousH6555, and hadH1961 largeH7227 flocksH6629, and femaleH8198 and maleH5650 servantsH5650H8198, and camelsH1581 and donkeysH2543.
