Let me take my wives and children, for I have earned them from you, and let me be on my way. You know I have fully paid for them with my service to you."

Gen.30.27
Laban said, "If you please, I have learned through divine inquiry that GOD has blessed me because of you."

Then he said, "Name me your wages, and I will give it."
Gen.30.28

Gen.30.29
And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
Gen.30.29
Jacob replied, "You know well what my work has meant to you and how your livestock has flourished under my care.
Gen.30.29
Jacob said to him, "You know how I have worked for you and how your livestock has fared under my care.

Gen.30.29
Jacob replied, "You know how faithfully I've served you through these many years, and how your flocks and herds have grown.
Gen.30.30
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?
Gen.30.30
The little you had when I arrived has increased greatly; everything I did resulted in blessings for you. Isn't it about time that I do something for my own family?"
Gen.30.30
The little you had before I came has increased greatly, and the LORD has blessed you wherever I have been. But now, when may I do something for my own household?"
Gen.30.30
For what you had before I came was little, and it has increased to a great amount; the LORD has blessed you since my coming. And now, when shall I also provide for my own house?"
Gen.30.30
You had little indeed before I came, and your wealth has increased enormously. The LORD has blessed you from everything I do! But now, what about me? When should I provide for my own family?"
Gen.30.31
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:
Gen.30.31
"So, what should I pay you?" Jacob said, "You don't have to pay me a thing. But how about this? I will go back to pasture and care for your flocks.
Gen.30.31
"What shall I give you?" he asked. "Don't give me anything," Jacob replied. "But if you will do this one thing for me, I will go on tending your flocks and watching over them:
Gen.30.31
So he said, "What shall I give you?" And Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep your flocks:
Gen.30.31
"What wages do you want?" Laban asked again. Jacob replied, "Don't give me anything at all. Just do one thing, and I'll go back to work for you.
Gen.30.32
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.
Gen.30.32
Go through your entire flock today and take out every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, every spotted or speckled goat. They will be my wages.
Gen.30.32
Let 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. They will be my wages.
Gen.30.32
Let me pass through all your flock today, removing from there all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown ones among the lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and these shall be my wages.
Gen.30.32
Let me go out among your flocks today and remove all the sheep and goats that are speckled or spotted, along with all the dark-colored sheep. Give them to me as my wages.
Gen.30.33
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.
Gen.30.33
That way you can check on my honesty when you assess my wages. If you find any goat that's not speckled or spotted or a sheep that's not black, you will know that I stole it."
Gen.30.33
And my honesty will testify for me in the future, whenever you check on the wages you have paid me. Any goat in my possession that is not speckled or spotted, or any lamb that is not dark-colored, will be considered stolen."
Gen.30.33
So my righteousness will answer for me in time to come, when the subject of my wages comes before you: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, will be considered stolen, if it is with me."
Gen.30.33
This will make it easy for you to see whether or not I have been honest. If you find in my flock any white sheep or goats that are not speckled, you will know that I have stolen them from you."
Gen.30.34
And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
Gen.30.34
"Fair enough," said Laban. "It's a deal."
Gen.30.34
"Agreed," said Laban. "Let it be as you have said."
Gen.30.34
And Laban said, "Oh, that it were according to your word!"
Gen.30.34
"All right," Laban replied. "It will be as you have said."
Gen.30.35
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.
Gen.30.35
But that very day Laban removed all the mottled and spotted billy goats and all the speckled and spotted nanny-goats, every animal that had even a touch of white on it plus all the black sheep and placed them under the care of his sons.
Gen.30.35
That same day he removed all the male goats that were streaked or spotted, and all the speckled or spotted female goats (all that had white on them) and all the dark-colored lambs, and he placed them in the care of his sons.
Gen.30.35
So he removed that day the male goats that were speckled and spotted, all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had some white in it, and all the brown ones among the lambs, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Gen.30.35
But that very day Laban went out and removed all the male goats that were speckled and spotted, the females that were speckled and spotted with any white patches, and all the dark-colored sheep. He placed them in the care of his sons,
Gen.30.36
And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
Gen.30.36
Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob. Meanwhile Jacob went on tending what was left of Laban's flock.
Gen.30.36
Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob continued to tend the rest of Laban's flocks.
Gen.30.36
Then he put three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
Gen.30.36
and they took them three days' distance from where Jacob was. Meanwhile, Jacob stayed and cared for Laban's flock.
Gen.30.37
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.
Gen.30.37
But Jacob got fresh branches from poplar, almond, and plane trees and peeled the bark, leaving white stripes on them.
Gen.30.37
Jacob, however, took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white stripes on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
Gen.30.37
Now Jacob took for himself rods of green poplar and of the almond and chestnut trees, peeled white strips in them, and exposed the white which was in the rods.
Gen.30.37
Now Jacob took fresh shoots from poplar, almond, and plane trees and peeled off strips of the bark to make white streaks on them.
Gen.30.38
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.
Gen.30.38
He stuck the peeled branches in front of the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. When the flocks were in heat, they came to drink
Gen.30.38
Then he placed the peeled branches in all the watering troughs, so that they would be directly in front of the flocks when they came to drink. When the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
Gen.30.38
And the rods which he had peeled, he set before the flocks in the gutters, in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, so that they should conceive when they came to drink.
Gen.30.38
Then he set up these peeled branches beside the watering troughs so Laban's flocks would see them as they came to drink, for that was when they mated.
Gen.30.39
And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
Gen.30.39
and mated in front of the streaked branches. Then they gave birth to young that were streaked or spotted or speckled.
Gen.30.39
they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
Gen.30.39
So the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.
Gen.30.39
So when the flocks mated in front of the white-streaked branches, all of their offspring were streaked, speckled, and spotted.
Gen.30.40
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.
Gen.30.40
Jacob placed the ewes before the dark-colored animals of Laban. That way he got distinctive flocks for himself which he didn't mix with Laban's flocks.
Gen.30.40
Jacob set apart the young of the flock by themselves, but made the rest face the streaked and dark-colored animals that belonged to Laban. Thus he made separate flocks for himself and did not put them with Laban's animals.
Gen.30.40
Then Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the streaked and all the brown in the flock of Laban; but he put his own flocks by themselves and did not put them with Laban's flock.
Gen.30.40
Jacob added them to his own flock, thus separating the lambs from Laban's flock. Then at mating time, he turned the flocks toward the streaked and dark-colored rams in Laban's flock. This is how he built his flock from Laban's.
Gen.30.41
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.
Gen.30.41
And when the sturdier animals were mating, Jacob placed branches at the troughs in view of the animals so that they mated in front of the branches.
Gen.30.41
Whenever the stronger females were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs in front of the animals so they would mate near the branches,
Gen.30.41
And it came to pass, whenever the stronger livestock conceived, that Jacob placed the rods before the eyes of the livestock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
Gen.30.41
Whenever the stronger females were ready to mate, Jacob set up the peeled branches in front of them.
Gen.30.42
But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
Gen.30.42
But he wouldn't set up the branches before the feebler animals. That way the feeble animals went to Laban and the sturdy ones to Jacob.
Gen.30.42
but if the animals were weak, he would not place them there. So the weak animals went to Laban and the strong ones to Jacob.
Gen.30.42
