01:030:030 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is
           now increased unto a multitude; and the lord hath blessed thee
           since my coming:  and now when shall I provide for mine own
           house also?

01:030:031 And he said, What shall I give thee?  And Jacob said, Thou
           shalt not give me any thing:  if thou wilt do this thing for
           me, I will again feed and keep thy flock.

01:030:032 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence
           all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle
           among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: 
           and of such shall be my hire.

01:030:033 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when
           it shall come for my hire before thy face:  every one that is
           not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the
           sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.

01:030:034 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy
           word.

01:030:035 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and
           spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted,
           and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown
           among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

01:030:036 And he set three days’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob:  and
           Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.

01:030:037 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and
           chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the
           white appear which was in the rods.

01:030:038 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in
           the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to
           drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.

01:030:039 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth
           cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.

01:030:040 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the
           flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock
           of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put
           them not unto Laban’s cattle.

01:030:041 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did
           conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the
           cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the
           rods.

01:030:042 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in:  so the
           feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.

01:030:043 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and
           maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
