And he will remove in that day the he-goats banded and patched, and all the she-goats speckled and patched; every one which being white on it, and every one black among the sheep, and he will give into the hand of his sons. And he will set a way of three days between him and between Jacob; and Jacob fed Laban's sheep the rest. And Jacob will take to himself a rod of green storax, and the almond tree, and the plane tree, and he will strip off of them the white strippings, uncovering the white which was upon the rods. read more.
And he set the rods which he stripped, in the flowings of channels of water, when the flock shall come to drink, before the sheep, and they shall be in heat in coming to drink. And the sheep shall conceive at the rods, and shall bring forth sheep banded and speckled and patched. And Jacob separated the lambs, and he will give the faces of the sheep to the banded and every one black among the sheep of Laban: and he will set to himself the flocks, to himself alone, and not put them with Laban's sheep. And it was in every one conceiving of the strong sheep, and Jacob put the rods before the eyes of the sheep in the floorings, to conceive among the rods. And in the sheep being feeble, he will not put in: and those being feeble, were to Laban, and those being strong, to Jacob. And the man will break forth greatly, greatly; and there will be to him many sheep and maids, and servants, and camels and asses.

If thus he will say, The speckled shall be thy hire; and all the sheep shall bring forth speckled: and if thus he will say, The banded shall be thy hire, and all the sheep will bring forth white-footed. And God will take away the cattle of your father and will give them to me.

And he will hear the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob took all which was to our father, and from what was to our father he made all this multitude. And Jacob will see the face of Laban, and behold, it was not towards him as yesterday, the third day. And Jehovah will say to Jacob, Turn back to the land of thy fathers, and to thy lineage; and I will be with thee. read more.
And Jacob will send and call to Rachel and to Leah in the field to his sheep. And will say to them, I saw the face of your father that it is not towards me as yesterday the third day: and the God of my father was with me. And ye yourselves knew that with all my strength I served, your father, And your father deceived me and changed my wages ten parts; and God gave him not to do evil by me. If thus he will say, The speckled shall be thy hire; and all the sheep shall bring forth speckled: and if thus he will say, The banded shall be thy hire, and all the sheep will bring forth white-footed. And God will take away the cattle of your father and will give them to me. And it shall be in the time the sheep shall conceive, and I shall lift up mine eyes, and I shall see in a dream, and behold, the he-goats ascending upon the sheep, banded, speckled and sprinkled with spots. And the messenger of God will say to me in a dream, Jacob: and I shall say, Behold me. And he will say, Lift up now thine eyes and see all the he-goats ascending upon the sheep, banded, speckled and sprinkled with spots; for I saw all that Laban did to thee. I the God of the house of God, where thou didst anoint there a pillar; where thou didst vow to me there a vow: now arise, go forth from this land, and turn back to the land of thy kindred. And Rachel will answer, and Leah, and they will say to him, Is yet to us a portion and inheritance in our father's house? Were we not reckoned strangers by him? for he sold us, and also eating, he ate up our silver. For all the riches which God took away from our father, that is to us and to our sons: and now all which God said to thee, do. And Jacob will rise, and lift up his sons and his wives upon the camels. And he will lead away all his cattle and all his horse which he acquired, the cattle of his acquisition, which he acquired in Padan Aram, to go to Isaak his father in the land of Canaan. And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel will steal the family gods which were to her father. And Jacob will steal the heart of Laban the Syrian, for not announcing to him that he broke away. And he will break away, and all which was to him; and he will rise and pass over the river, and will set his face to Mount Gilead.
