    29Jacob said to him, 'You know how I have worked for you and how your livestock has fared under my care.'

    30For you had little before I came, but now it has increased greatly. The LORD has blessed you wherever I have been. But now, when can I provide for my own household?

    31Laban asked, 'What shall I give you?' Jacob replied, 'You shall give me nothing. If you do this one thing for me, I will continue to tend and watch over your flock.'

    32Let me pass through all your flocks today and remove every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will become my wages.

    33My honesty will testify for me in the future. When you check what I’ve taken as payment, if you find any in my possession that is not speckled or spotted among the goats, or dark-colored among the lambs, let it be considered stolen.

    34Laban said, 'Very well, let it be as you have said.'

    35That same day, Laban went and removed all the streaked or spotted male goats, all the speckled or spotted female goats, and every dark-colored lamb. He placed them in the care of his sons.

    36Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob continued to take care of the rest of Laban's flocks.

    37Jacob, however, took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond, and plane trees and peeled white stripes into them, exposing the inner wood.

    38He placed the peeled branches in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, so they would mate when they came to drink.

    39And the flocks mated in front of the branches, and they gave birth to young that were streaked, speckled, or spotted.

    40Jacob separated the lambs and made the rest of the flock face the streaked and the dark-colored animals that belonged to Laban. Then he kept his own flocks separate and did not put them with Laban's flock.

    41Whenever the stronger females were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks so they would mate near the branches.

    42But if the animals were weak, he would not place the branches there. So the weaker animals went to Laban, and the stronger ones to Jacob.

    43In this way, the man became exceedingly prosperous, and he had large flocks, female and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
