Verse
Genesis - ch 30 v 21 - 40
- And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
- And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
- And she conceived, and bore a son, and said, God has taken away my reproach.
- And she called his name Joseph; and said, Jehovah will add to me another son.
- And it came to pass when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my country.
- Give me my wives for whom I have served thee, and my children; that I may go away, for thou knowest my service which I have served thee.
- And Laban said to him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes -- I have discovered that Jehovah has blessed me for thy sake.
- And he said, Appoint to me thy wages, and I will give it.
- And he said to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and what thy cattle has become with me.
- For it was little that thou hadst before me, and it is increased to a multitude, and Jehovah has blessed thee from the time I came; and now, when shall I also provide for my house?
- And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me anything. If thou doest this for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:
- I will pass through all thy flock to-day, to remove thence all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and that shall be my hire.
- And my righteousness shall answer for me hereafter, when thou comest about my hire, before thy face: all that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, let that be stolen with me.
- And Laban said, Well, let it be according to thy word.
- And he removed that day the he-goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the brown among the lambs, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
- And he put three days' journey between himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flock.
- And Jacob took fresh rods of white poplar, almond-tree, and maple; and peeled off white stripes in them, uncovering the white which was on the rods.
- And he set the rods which he had peeled before the flock, in the troughs at the watering-places where the flock came to drink, and they were ardent when they came to drink.
- And the flock was ardent before the rods; and the flock brought forth ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
- And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flock toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he made himself separate flocks, and did not put them with Laban's flock.
