01:030:037 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and
chesnut 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.
01:031:003 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy
fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
01:031:004 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto
his flock,
01:031:005 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it
is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
01:031:006 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
01:031:007 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten
times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
01:031:008 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all
the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be
thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
01:031:009 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given
them to me.
01:031:010 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived,
that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams
which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
01:031:011 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob:
And I said, Here am I.
01:031:012 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams
which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I
have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
01:031:013 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and
where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this
land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
