Genesis 30:27-43

30:27

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I pray thee, if I have found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in thine eyes
<05869>_,

[tarry: for] I have learned by experience
<05172> (8765)

that the LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8762)

me for thy sake
<01558>_.

30:28

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Appoint
<05344> (8798)

me thy wages
<07939>_,

and I will give
<05414> (8799)

[it].

30:29

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

how
<0834>

I have served
<05647> (8804)

thee, and how
<0834>

thy cattle
<04735>

was with me.

30:30

For [it was] little
<04592>

which thou hadst before I
<06440>

[came], and it is [now] increased
<06555> (8799)

unto a multitude
<07230>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8762)

thee since my coming
<07272>_:

and now when
<04970>

shall I provide
<06213> (8799)

for mine own house
<01004>

also? {increased: Heb. broken forth} {since...: Heb. at my foot}

30:31

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What shall I give thee
<05414> (8799)_?

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt not give
<05414> (8799)

me any thing
<03972>_:

if thou wilt do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>

for me, I will again
<07725> (8799)

feed
<07462> (8799)

[and] keep
<08104> (8799)

thy flock
<06629>_:

30:32

I will pass
<05674> (8799)

through all thy flock
<06629>

to day
<03117>_,

removing
<05493> (8687)

from thence all the speckled
<05348>

and spotted
<02921> (8803)

cattle
<07716>_,

and all the brown
<02345>

cattle
<07716>

among the sheep
<03775>_,

and the spotted
<02921> (8803)

and speckled
<05348>

among the goats
<05795>_:

and [of such] shall be my hire
<07939>_.

30:33

So shall my righteousness
<06666>

answer
<06030> (8804)

for me in time
<03117>

to come
<04279>_,

when it shall come
<0935> (8799)

for my hire
<07939>

before thy face
<06440>_:

every one
<03605>

that [is] not speckled
<05348>

and spotted
<02921> (8803)

among the goats
<05795>_,

and brown
<02345>

among the sheep
<03775>_,

that shall be counted stolen
<01589> (8803)

with me. {in time...: Heb. to morrow}

30:34

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I would it might be
<03863>

according to thy word
<01697>_.

30:35

And he removed
<05493> (8686)

that day
<03117>

the he goats
<08495>

that were ringstraked
<06124>

and spotted
<02921> (8803)_,

and all the she goats
<05795>

that were speckled
<05348>

and spotted
<02921> (8803)_,

[and] every one that had [some] white
<03836>

in it, and all the brown
<02345>

among the sheep
<03775>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[them] into the hand
<03027>

of his sons
<01121>_.

30:36

And he set
<07760> (8799)

three
<07969>

days
<03117>_'

journey
<01870>

betwixt himself and Jacob
<03290>_:

and Jacob
<03290>

fed
<07462> (8802)

the rest
<03498> (8737)

of Laban's
<03837>

flocks
<06629>_.

30:37

And Jacob
<03290>

took
<03947> (8799)

him rods
<04731>

of green
<03892>

poplar
<03839>_,

and of the hazel
<03869>

and chesnut tree
<06196>_;

and pilled
<06478> (8762)

white
<03836>

strakes
<06479>

in them, and made the white
<03836>

appear
<04286>

which [was] in the rods
<04731>_.

30:38

And he set
<03322> (8686)

the rods
<04731>

which he had pilled
<06478> (8765)

before
<05227>

the flocks
<06629>

in the gutters
<07298>

in the watering
<04325>

troughs
<08268>

when the flocks
<06629>

came
<0935> (8799)

to drink
<08354> (8800)_,

that they should conceive
<03179> (8799)

when they came
<0935> (8800)

to drink
<08354> (8800)_.

30:39

And the flocks
<06629>

conceived
<03179> (8799)

before the rods
<04731>_,

and brought forth
<03205> (8799)

cattle
<06629>

ringstraked
<06124>_,

speckled
<05348>_,

and spotted
<02921> (8803)_.

30:40

And Jacob
<03290>

did separate
<06504> (8689)

the lambs
<03775>_,

and set
<05414> (8799)

the faces
<06440>

of the flocks
<06629>

toward
<0413>

the ringstraked
<06124>_,

and all the brown
<02345>

in the flock
<06629>

of Laban
<03837>_;

and he put
<07896> (8799)

his own flocks
<05739>

by themselves, and put
<07896> (8804)

them not unto Laban's
<03837>

cattle
<06629>_.

30:41

And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger
<07194> (8794)

cattle
<06629>

did conceive
<03179> (8763)_,

that Jacob
<03290>

laid
<07760> (8804)

the rods
<04731>

before the eyes
<05869>

of the cattle
<06629>

in the gutters
<07298>_,

that they might conceive
<03179> (8763)

among the rods
<04731>_.

30:42

But when the cattle
<06629>

were feeble
<05848> (8687)_,

he put [them] not in
<07760> (8799)_:

so the feebler
<05848> (8803)

were Laban's
<03837>_,

and the stronger
<07194> (8803)

Jacob's
<03290>_.

30:43

And the man
<0376>

increased
<06555> (8799)

exceedingly
<03966> <03966>_,

and had much
<07227>

cattle
<06629>_,

and maidservants
<08198>_,

and menservants
<05650>_,

and camels
<01581>_,

and asses
<02543>_.
