GEN 30:25–36, engwebp
²⁵When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
²⁶Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”
²⁷Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.”
²⁸He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
²⁹Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
³⁰For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. The LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
³¹Laban said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
³²I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.
³³So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be considered stolen.”
³⁴Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”
³⁵That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
³⁶He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
