30:15
And she said°°
unto her, [Is it] a small matter°
that thou hast taken°°°
my husband?°
and wouldest thou take away°°°

Therefore°

when°

had born°°°
Joseph,°
that Jacob°
said°°
unto°
Laban,°
Send me away,°°
that I may go°°°
unto°
mine own place,°
and to my country.° |
|
30:26
Restore my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart, for thou knowest the service wherewith I have served thee. |
|
30:26
Give°°
[me]°
my wives°
and my children,°
for°
whom°°
I have served°°
thee, and let me go:°°°
for°
thou°
knowest°°°
my service°
which°
I have done°°
thee. |
|
30:27
And Laban said to him, If I have found grace in thy sight, I would augur [well], for the Lord has blessed me at thy coming in. |
|
30:27
And Laban°
said°°
unto°
him, I pray thee,°
if°
I have found°°
favour°
in thine eyes,°
[tarry: for] I have learned by experience°°
that Yahweh°
hath blessed°°
me for thy sake.° |
|
30:28
Appoint me thy wages, and I will give [them]. |
|
30:28
And he said,°°
Appoint°°°
me thy wages,°
and I will give°°
[it]. |
|
30:29
And Jacob said, Thou knowest in what things I have served thee, and how many cattle of thine are with me. |
|
30:29
And he said°°
unto°
him, Thou°
knowest°°°
how°
I have served°°
thee, and how°
thy cattle°
was°
with°
me. |
|
30:30
For it was little thou hadst before my time, and it is increased to a multitude, and the Lord God has blessed thee since my coming; now then, when shall I set up also my own house? |
|
30:30
For°
[it was] little°
which°
thou hadst°
before°
I°
[came], and it is [now] increased°°
unto a multitude;°
and Yahweh°
hath blessed°°
thee since my coming:°
and now°
when°
shall I°
provide°°
for mine own house°
also?° |
|
30:31
And Laban said to him, What shall I give thee? and Jacob said to him, Thou shalt not give me anything; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again tend thy flocks and keep them. |
|
30:31
And he said,°°
What°
shall I give°
thee?°°
And Jacob°
said,°°
Thou shalt not°
give°°
me any thing:°
if°
thou wilt do°°
this°
thing°
for me, I will again°°
feed°°
[and] keep°°
thy flock:° |
|
30:32
Let all thy sheep pass by to-day, and separate thence every grey sheep among the rams, and every one that is speckled and spotted among the goats-- [this] shall be my reward. |
|
30:32
I will pass°°
through°
all°
thy flock°
to day,°
removing°°
from thence°°
all°
the speckled°
and spotted°°
cattle,°
and all°
the brown°
cattle°
among the sheep,°
and the spotted°°
and speckled°
among the goats:°
and [of such] shall be°
my hire.° |
|
30:33
And my righteousness shall answer for me on the morrow, for it is my reward before thee: whatever shall not be spotted and speckled among the goats, and grey among the rams, shall be stolen with me. |
|
30:33
So shall my righteousness°
answer°°
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. |
|
30:34
And Laban said to him, Let it be according to thy word. |
|
30:34
And Laban°
said,°°
Behold,°
I would°
it might be°°
according to thy word.° |
|
30:35
And he separated in that day the spotted and speckled he-goats, and all the spotted and speckled she-goats, and all that was grey among the rams, and every one that was white among them, and he gave them into the hand of his sons. |
|
30:35
And he removed°°
that°
day°°
the he goats°
that were ringstraked°
and spotted,°°
and all°
the she goats°
that were speckled°
and spotted,°°
[and] every one°
that°
had [some] white°
in it, and all°
the brown°
among the sheep,°
and gave°°
[them] into the hand°
of his sons.° |
|
30:36
And he set a distance of a three days' journey between them and Jacob. And Jacob tended the cattle of Laban that were left behind. |
|
30:36
And he set°°
three°
days'°
journey°
betwixt°
himself and Jacob:°
and Jacob°
fed°°°
the rest°°
of Laban's°
flocks.° |
|
30:37 ¶
And Jacob took to himself green rods of storax tree and walnut and plane-tree; and Jacob peeled in them white stripes; and as he drew off the green, the white stripe which he had made appeared alternate on the rods. |
|
30:37 ¶
And Jacob°
took°°
him rods°
of green°
poplar,°
and of the hazel°
and chesnut tree;°
and pilled°°
white°
strakes°
in them,°
and made the white°
appear°
which°
[was] in°
the rods.° |
|
30:38
And he laid the rods which he had peeled, in the hollows of the watering-troughs, that whensoever the cattle should come to drink, as they should have come to drink before the rods, the cattle might conceive at the rods. |
|
30:38
And he set°°°
the rods°
which°
he had pilled°°
before°
the flocks°
in the gutters°
in the watering°
troughs°
when°
the flocks°
came°°
to drink,°°
that they should conceive°°
when they came°°
to drink.°° |
|
30:39
So the cattle conceived at the rods, and the cattle brought forth [young] speckled, and streaked and spotted with ash-coloured [spots]. |
|
30:39
And the flocks°
conceived°°
before°
the rods,°
and brought forth°°
cattle°
ringstraked,°
speckled,°
and spotted.°° |
|
30:40
And Jacob separated the lambs, and set before the sheep a speckled ram, and every variegated one among the lambs, and he separated flocks for himself alone, and did not mingle them with the sheep of Laban. |
|
30:40
And Jacob°
did separate°°
the lambs,°
and set°°
the faces°
of the flocks°
toward°
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's°
cattle.° |
|
30:41
And it came to pass in the time wherein the cattle became pregnant, conceiving in the belly, Jacob put the rods before the cattle in the troughs, that they might conceive by the rods. |
|
30:41
And it came to pass,°
whensoever°
the stronger°°
cattle°
did conceive,°°
that Jacob°
laid°°°
the rods°
before the eyes°
of the cattle°
in the gutters,°
that they might conceive°°
among the rods.° |
|
30:42
But he did not put them in [indiscriminately] whenever the cattle happened to bring forth, but the unmarked ones were Laban's, and the marked ones were Jacob's. |
|
30:42
But when the cattle°
were feeble,°°
he put°
[them] not°
in:°°
so the feebler°°
were°
Laban's,°
and the stronger°°
Jacob's.° |
|
30:43
And the man became very rich, and he had many cattle, and oxen, and servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses. |
|
30:43
And the man°
increased°°
exceedingly,°
and had°
much°
cattle,°
and maidservants,°
and menservants,°
and camels,°
and asses.° |
