Genesis 30:25-43 - Jacob's Prosperity
25 And it shall be when Rachel bare Joseph, and Jacob will say to Laban, send me away, and I shall go to my place and to my land. 26 Give my wives and my children, for whom I served thee, and I will go forth; for thou knewest ray work which I served thee.
27 And Laban will say to him, If now I found grace in thine eyes, I prognosticated, and Jehovah will praise me because of thee. 28 And he will say, Specify thy hire to me, and I will give.
29 And he will say to him, Thou. knewest what I served thee, and what was thy cattle with me. 30 For little which was to thee before me, and it will break forth into a multitude; and Jehovah will praise thee at my foot: and now when shall I make to myself a house?
31 And he will say, What shall I give to thee? and Jacob will say, Thou shalt not give to me anything. If thou wilt do to me this word, I will return; I will feed thy sheep; I will watch. 32 I will pass over among all thy sheep this day, removing from thence every sheep speckled and patched, and every sheep black among the lambs; and the patched and speckled among the she-goats; and it shall be my hire. 33 And my justice shall speak for me in the day tomorrow, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one which is not speckled and patched among the she-goats and black among the lambs, that to be stolen with me.
34 And Laban will say to him, Behold, it shall be according to thy word.
35 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. 36 And he will set a way of three days between him and between Jacob; and Jacob fed Laban's sheep the rest.
37 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. 38 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. 39 And the sheep shall conceive at the rods, and shall bring forth sheep banded and speckled and patched. 40 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.
41 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. 42 And in the sheep being feeble, he will not put in: and those being feeble, were to Laban, and those being strong, to Jacob. 43 And the man will break forth greatly, greatly; and there will be to him many sheep and maids, and servants, and camels and asses.
