And the man increased very, very much, and had much cattle, and bondwomen, and bondmen, and camels, and asses.

And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the fields to his flock, and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as previously; but the God of my father has been with me. And you know that with all my power I have served your father. And your father has mocked me, and has changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me. If he said thus; The speckled shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore speckled; and if he said thus: The ringstraked shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore ringstraked.
