, and that

was with me ;

how
I have served thee, and how

for `
it is'
little which thou hast
had
at
my
appearance
, and it breaketh
forth
into
a multitude ,
and Jehovah
blesseth
thee at
my coming ;
and now ,
when do
I
make,
I also,
for mine own house? '
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
?

, `
What do
I give to
thee? '

, `
Thou dost
not give me anything;
if thou do for
me
this thing, I turn
back;
I
have
delight;
thy flock I
watch;
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 .
I pass through all thy flock to -
day to
turn
aside
from thence every
sheep
speckled and spotted, and every
brown sheep
among the lambs
, and speckled
and
spotted among the goats --
and it
hath
been
my hire ;
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 .
and
my righteousness hath
answered
for me in the
day
to come, when it cometh
in
for my hire before thy face ;
--
every one which
is not speckled and spotted among `my'
goats, and brown among `my'
lambs
--
it
is
stolen with me. '
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.
And Laban saith
, `Lo
, O
that
it were
according to thy word ;'
And Laban said
, Behold
, I
would
it might
be
according to thy word .
and he turneth
aside
during
that day the ring- straked
and the
spotted he-goats
, and all the speckled and the
spotted she-goats
, every one that `hath'
white in it, and every
brown one
among the lambs
, and he
giveth
into the hand of his sons ,
And he removed
that day the he
goats
that
were
ring- streaked
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 .
and setteth
a
journey
of
three days between
himself and Jacob ;
and Jacob is
feeding
the rest of the
flock
of
Laban
.
And he
set
three days '
journey
betwixt
himself and Jacob :
and Jacob fed
the rest of Laban's
flocks
.
And Jacob taketh
to
himself
a
rod
of fresh
poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut,
and doth
peel
in them white
peelings
, making
bare
the white that
`is'
on
the rods ,
And Jacob took
him
rods
of green
poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut
tree;
and pilled
white
streaks
in them, and
made
the white appear
which
was
in
the rods .
and setteth
up
the rods which he hath
peeled
in the gutters in the watering troughs (
when the flock
cometh
in
to drink )
, over-against
the
flock,
that they may
conceive in
their
coming
in
to drink ;
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 .
and the flocks conceive
at
the rods, and the
flock
beareth
ring- straked
, speckled, and spotted ones
.
And the flocks conceived
before
the rods, and brought
forth
cattle
ring- streaked
, speckled, and spotted.
And the lambs hath
Jacob
parted
, and he
putteth
the face
of the flock
towards
the ring- straked
, also
all the brown in the flock of Laban ,
and he setteth
his own droves
by themselves, and hath
not
set
them near
Laban's flock
.
And Jacob
did
separate
the lambs, and set
the faces
of the flocks
toward
the ring- streaked
, 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
.
And it hath
come
to pass whenever
the
strong
ones
of
the flock
conceive, that Jacob set
the rods before the eyes of the flock
in the gutters, to
cause
them
to
conceive by
the rods ,
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 .
and
when the flock
is
feeble, he doth
not
set
`
them ';
and
the feeble
ones
have
been
Laban's, and the strong
ones
Jacob's.
But
when the cattle
were
feeble, he put
them not
in:
so
the feebler
were
Laban's, and the stronger
Jacob's.
And the man increaseth
very
exceedingly, and hath
many
flocks
, and maid-servants
, and men-servants
, and camels, and asses.
And the man increased
exceedingly, and had
much
cattle
, and maidservants
, and menservants
, and camels, and asses.
