Genesis 30:27-43

27And LabanH3837 saidH559 unto him, I pray thee, if I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thine eyesH5869, tarry: for I have learned by experienceH5172 that YhwhH3068 hath blessedH1288 me for thy sakeH1558. 28And he saidH559, AppointH5344 me thy wagesH7939, and I will giveH5414 it. 29And he saidH559 unto him, Thou knowestH3045 howH834 I have servedH5647 thee, and howH834 thy cattleH4735 was with me. 30For it was littleH4592 which thou hadst before IH6440 came, and it is now increasedH6555 unto a multitudeH7230; And YhwhH3068 hath blessedH1288 thee since my comingH7272: and now whenH4970 shall I provideH6213 for mine own houseH1004 also?12 31And he saidH559, What shall I give theeH5414? And JacobH3290 saidH559, Thou shalt not giveH5414 me any thingH3972: if thou wilt doH6213 this thingH1697 for me, I will againH7725 feedH7462 and keepH8104 thy flockH6629: 32I will passH5674 through all thy flockH6629 to dayH3117, removingH5493 from thence all the speckledH5348 and spottedH2921 cattleH7716, and all the brownH2345 cattleH7716 among the sheepH3775, and the spottedH2921 and speckledH5348 among the goatsH5795: and of such shall be my hireH7939. 33So shall my righteousnessH6666 answerH6030 for me in timeH3117 to comeH4279, when it shall comeH935 for my hireH7939 before thy faceH6440: every oneH3605 that is not speckledH5348 and spottedH2921 among the goatsH5795, and brownH2345 among the sheepH3775, that shall be counted stolenH1589 with me.3 34And LabanH3837 saidH559, Behold, I would it might beH3863 according to thy wordH1697. 35And he removedH5493 that dayH3117 the he goatsH8495 that were ringstrakedH6124 and spottedH2921, and all the she goatsH5795 that were speckledH5348 and spottedH2921, and every one that had some whiteH3836 in it, and all the brownH2345 among the sheepH3775, and gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of his sonsH1121. 36And he setH7760 threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH1870 betwixt himself and JacobH3290: and JacobH3290 fedH7462 the restH3498 of Laban’sH3837 flocksH6629.

37And JacobH3290 tookH3947 him rodsH4731 of greenH3892 poplarH3839, and of the hazelH3869 and chesnut treeH6196; and pilledH6478 whiteH3836 strakesH6479 in them, and made the whiteH3836 appearH4286 which was in the rodsH4731. 38And he setH3322 the rodsH4731 which he had pilledH6478 beforeH5227 the flocksH6629 in the guttersH7298 in the wateringH4325 troughsH8268 when the flocksH6629 cameH935 to drinkH8354, that they should conceiveH3179 when they cameH935 to drinkH8354. 39And the flocksH6629 conceivedH3179 before the rodsH4731, and brought forthH3205 cattleH6629 ringstrakedH6124, speckledH5348, and spottedH2921. 40And JacobH3290 did separateH6504 the lambsH3775, and setH5414 the facesH6440 of the flocksH6629 towardH413 the ringstrakedH6124, and all the brownH2345 in the flockH6629 of LabanH3837; and he putH7896 his own flocksH5739 by themselves, and putH7896 them not unto Laban’sH3837 cattleH6629. 41And it came to pass, whensoever the strongerH7194 cattleH6629 did conceiveH3179, that JacobH3290 laidH7760 the rodsH4731 before the eyesH5869 of the cattleH6629 in the guttersH7298, that they might conceiveH3179 among the rodsH4731. 42But when the cattleH6629 were feebleH5848, he put them not inH7760: so the feeblerH5848 were Laban’sH3837, and the strongerH7194 Jacob’sH3290. 43And the manH376 increasedH6555 exceedinglyH3966, and had muchH7227 cattleH6629, and maidservantsH8198, and menservantsH5650, and camelsH1581, and donkeysH2543.
