Genesis 30:30-32
1599 Geneva Bible
30 For the little, that thou haddest before I came, is increased into a multitude: and the Lord hath blessed thee [a]by my coming: but now when shall [b]I travail for mine own house also?
31 Then he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob answered, Thou shalt give me nothing at all: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will return, feed, and keep thy sheep.
32 I will pass through all thy flocks this day, and [c]separate from them all the sheep with little spots and great spots, and all [d]black lambs among the sheep, and the great spotted, and little spotted among the goats: [e]and it shall be my wages.
