15
And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son'smandrakes also? And Rachelsaid, Therefore he shall lie with thee to nightfor thy son'smandrakes.
16

And Labansaid unto him, I pray thee, if I have foundfavour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
30
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?
31
And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacobsaid, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will againfeed and keep thy flock:
32
I will pass through all thy flock to day,removing from thence all the speckled and spottedcattle, and all the browncattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
33
So shall my righteousnessanswer 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.
34
And Labansaid, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.

And Jacobtook him rods of greenpoplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilledwhitestrakes in them, and made the whiteappear which was in the rods.
38
And he set the rods which he had pilledbefore the flocks in the gutters in the wateringtroughs when the flockscame to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
40
And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flockstoward 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'scattle.
41
And it came to pass, whensoever the strongercattle did conceive, that Jacoblaid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
