Genesis 31:7-12
7And your fatherH1 hath deceivedH2048 me, and changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 timesH4489; but GodH430 suffered himH5414 not to hurtH7489 meH5978.
8If he saidH559 thus, The speckledH5348 shall be thy wagesH7939; then all the cattleH6629 bareH3205 speckledH5348: and if he saidH559 thus, The ringstrakedH6124 shall be thy hireH7939; then bareH3205 all the cattleH6629 ringstrakedH6124.
9Thus GodH430 hath taken awayH5337 the cattleH4735 of your fatherH1, and givenH5414 them to me.
10And it came to pass at the timeH6256 that the cattleH6629 conceivedH3179, that I lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and sawH7200 in a dreamH2472, and, behold, the ramsH6260 which leapedH5927 upon the cattleH6629 were ringstrakedH6124, speckledH5348, and grisledH1261.1
11And the angelH4397 of GodH430 spakeH559 unto me in a dreamH2472, saying, JacobH3290: And I saidH559, Here am I.
12And he saidH559, Lift upH5375 now thine eyesH5869, and seeH7200, all the ramsH6260 which leapH5927 upon the cattleH6629 are ringstrakedH6124, speckledH5348, and grisledH1261: for I have seenH7200 all that LabanH3837 doethH6213 unto thee.
