25The Flocks of Jacob After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban,“Send me on my way so that I can go home to my own country.
26Let me take my wives and my children whom I have acquired by working for you. Then I’ll depart, because you know how hard I’ve worked for you.”
27But Laban said to him,“If I have found favor in your sight, please stay here, for I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me on account of you.”
28He added,“Just name your wages– I’ll pay whatever you want.”
29“You know how I have worked for you,” Jacob replied,“and how well your livestock have fared under my care.
30Indeed, you had little before I arrived, but now your possessions have increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I worked. But now, how long must it be before I do something for my own family too?”
31So Laban asked,“What should I give you?”“You don’t need to give me a thing,” Jacob replied,“but if you agree to this one condition, I will continue to care for your flocks and protect them:
32Let me walk among all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and the spotted or speckled goats. These animals will be my wages.
33My integrity will testify for me later on. When you come to verify that I’ve taken only the wages we agreed on, if I have in my possession any goat that is not speckled or spotted or any sheep that is not dark-colored, it will be considered stolen.”

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

41When the stronger females were in heat, Jacob would set up the branches in the troughs in front of the flock, so they would mate near the branches.
