Genesis 30:30-32

International Standard Version

³⁰ What you had previously was only a few head, but the herd has now multiplied, because the Lord has blessed you through my efforts.^[a] But now, when am I going to be able to provide for my own household?”

³¹ “What do I have to give you?” Laban asked.

Jacob responded, “You don’t have to give me anything. Just do this for me: Let me tend your flock again and watch over it. ³² Let me walk among your flocks today and remove every speckled or spotted sheep, along with every black lamb, and let me do the same with the speckled and spotted goats. These will be my wages.
