Laban asked, “Then what should I give you?” Jacob answered, “I don’t want you to give me anything. Just do this one thing, and I will come back and take care of your flocks.
When I came, you had little, but now you have much. Every time I did something for you, the Lord blessed you. But when will I be able to do something for my own family?”
Today let me go through all your flocks. I will take every speckled or spotted sheep, every black lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. That will be my pay.
