Read word by wordBut Laban replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”
Read word by wordAnd he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
Read word by wordThen Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.
Read word by wordIndeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”
Read word by word“What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.
Read word by wordLet me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.
Read word by wordSo my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”
Read word by word“Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”

Read word by wordJacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.

Read word by wordJacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.
Read word by wordWhenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.

Read word by wordWhen the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.
Read word by wordIn that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’
Read word by word‘Look up,’ he said, ‘and see that all the males that are mating with the flock are streaked, spotted, or speckled; for I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
