Genesis 31:7-12
7but your father has humiliated me and changed my wages ten times. But God has not permitted him to do me any harm.
8If he said, ‘The speckled animals will be your wage,’ then the entire flock gave birth to speckled offspring. But if he said, ‘The streaked animals will be your wage,’ then the entire flock gave birth to streaked offspring.
9In this way God has snatched away your father’s livestock and given them to me.
10“Once during breeding season I saw in a dream that the male goats mating with the flock were streaked, speckled, and spotted.
11In the dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ ‘Here I am!’ I replied.
12Then he said, ‘Observe that all the male goats mating with the flock are streaked, speckled, or spotted, for I have observed all that Laban has done to you.
