Genesis 30:31-33
1599 Geneva Bible
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 [a]separate from them all the sheep with little spots and great spots, and all [b]black lambs among the sheep, and the great spotted, and little spotted among the goats: [c]and it shall be my wages.
33 So shall my [d]righteousness answer for me hereafter, when it shall come for my reward before thy face, and everyone that hath not little or great spots among the goats, and black among the sheep, the same shall be [e]theft with me.
