01:030:028 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
01:030:029 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee,
and how thy cattle was with me.
01:030:030 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is
now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my
coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
01:030:031 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou
shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will
again feed and keep thy flock.
01:030:032 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from
thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle
among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of
such shall be my hire.
01:030:033 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come,
when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not
speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that
shall be counted stolen with me.
01:030:034 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy
word.
01:030:035 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked
and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and
every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep,
and gave them into the hand of his sons.
01:030:036 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob:
and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
01:030:037 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel
and chestnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white
appear which was in the rods.
01:030:038 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in
the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that
they should conceive when they came to drink.
01:030:039 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth
cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
01:030:040 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the
flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban;
and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's
cattle.
01:030:041 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did
conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the
gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
01:030:042 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the
feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
01:030:043 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and
maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
01:031:001 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath
taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our
father's hath he gotten all this glory.
01:031:002 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it
was not toward him as before.
