创30:30For 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?

创30:31And 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:

创30:32I 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.

创30:33So 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.

创30:34And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.

创30:35And 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.

创30:36And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.

创30:37And 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.

创30:38And 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.

创30:39And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.

创30:40And 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.

创30:41And 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.

创30:42But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.

创30:43And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.

创31:1And 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.

创31:2And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.

创31:3And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.

创31:4And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,

创31:5And 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.

创31:6And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
