"“Agreed!” said Laban,“It will be as you say.”"
— Genesis 30:34, NET Bible
“And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.”
“And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word. ”
“Laban said, "Behold, let it be according to your word."”
“And Laban said: I like well what thou demandest.”
“And Laban said, Let it be as you say.”
“And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.”
So Laban asked,“What should I give you?”“You don’t need to give me a thing,” Jacob replied,“but if you agree to this one condition, I will continue to care for your flocks and protect them:
Let me walk among all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and the spotted or speckled goats. These animals will be my wages.
My integrity will testify for me later on. When you come to verify that I’ve taken only the wages we agreed on, if I have in my possession any goat that is not speckled or spotted or any sheep that is not dark-colored, it will be considered stolen.”
“Agreed!” said Laban,“It will be as you say.”
So that day Laban removed the male goats that were streaked or spotted, all the female goats that were speckled or spotted(all that had any white on them), and all the dark-colored lambs, and put them in the care of his sons.
Then he separated them from Jacob by a three-day journey, while Jacob was taking care of the rest of Laban’s flocks.
But Jacob took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond, and plane trees. He made white streaks by peeling them, making the white inner wood in the branches visible.
