Let me walk among<n id="1" /> all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb,<n id="2" /> and the spotted or speckled goats.<n id="3" /> These animals will be my wages.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">So that day Laban<n id="1" /> removed the male goats that were streaked or spotted, all the female goats that were speckled or spotted (all that had any white on them), and all the dark-colored lambs, and put them in the care<n id="2" /> of his sons.

Jacob removed these lambs, but he made the rest of the flock face<n id="1" /> the streaked and completely dark-colored animals in Laban&#8217;s flock. So he made separate flocks for himself and did not mix them with Laban&#8217;s flocks.
