<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.

While Israel was living in that land, Reuben had sexual relations with<n id="1" /> Bilhah, his father&#8217;s concubine, and Israel heard about it.p> <p class="bodytext">Jacob had twelve sons:p>

<p class="bodytext">When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, &#8220;We cannot hide from our<n id="1" /> lord that the money is used up and the livestock and the animals belong to our lord. Nothing remains before our lord except our bodies and our land.
