Thematic Bible: Second contract

He continued: Name your wages, and I will pay. Jacob responded: You know how much work I have done for you and what has happened to your livestock under my care. The little that you had before I came has grown to a large amount. Jehovah has blessed you wherever I have been. When may I do something for my own family? read more.
Laban asked: What should I give you? Jacob answered: Do not give me anything. Instead, do something for me. Then I will go back to taking care of and watching your flocks again. Let me go through all of your flocks today and take every speckled and spotted sheep, every black lamb, and every spotted and speckled goat. They will be my wages. My honesty will speak for itself whenever you come to check on my wages. Any goat I have that is not speckled or spotted or any lamb that is not black will be considered stolen. Laban answered: I agree; we will do as you have said.
