31. Laban asked, “Then what should I give you?”Jacob answered, “I don’t want you to give me anything. Just do this one thing. Then I will come back and take care of your flocks.
32. Today let me go through all your flocks of white sheep and black goats. I will take every spotted or speckled lamb. I will take every black lamb and every spotted or speckled goat. That will be my pay.
33. In the future you can easily see if I am honest. You can come to look at my flocks. If I have any goat that isn’t speckled or spotted or any sheep that isn’t black, you will know I stole it.”
