As soon as Rahel had borne Ioseph, Iacob said to Laban: Send me
away that I may go unto mine own place and country, give me my
wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go:
for thou knowest what service I have done thee. Then said Laban
unto him: If I have found favour in thy sight (for I suppose that
the LORD {|God|} hath blessed me for thy sake) appoint what thy
reward shall be, and I will give it thee. But he said unto him,
thou knowest what service I have done thee, and in what taking thy
cattle have been under me: For it was but little that thou hadst
before I came, and now it is increased into a multitude, and the
LORD hath blessed thee for my sake. But now when shall I make
provision for mine own house also? And he said: what shall I give
thee? And Iacob answered: thou shalt give me nothing at all, if
thou wilt do this one thing for me: And then will I turn again and
feed thy sheep and keep them. I will go about all thy sheep this
day, and separate from them all the sheep that are spotted and of
divers colours, and all black sheep among the lambs and the party
and spotted among the kids: And then such shall be my reward. So
shall my righteousness answer for me: when the time cometh that I
shall receive my reward of thee: So that whatsoever is not
speckled and party among the goats and black among the lambs, let
that be theft with me.
