|
26. Give H5414 me H853 my wives H802 and my children H3206 , for whom H834 H2004 I have served H5647 thee , and let me go H1980 : for H3588 thou H859 knowest H3045 H853 my service H5656 which H834 I have done H5647 thee.
|
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.
|
|
27. And Laban H3837 said H559 unto H413 him , I pray thee H4994 , if H518 I have found H4672 favor H2580 in thine eyes H5869 , tarry: for I have learned by experience H5172 that the LORD H3068 hath blessed H1288 me for thy sake H1558 .

|
29. And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
|
|
30. For H3588 it was little H4592 which H834 thou hadst H1961 before H6440 I came , and it is now increased H6555 unto a multitude H7230 ; and the LORD H3068 hath blessed H1288 thee since my coming H7272 : and now H6258 when H4970 shall I H595 provide H6213 for mine own house H1004 also H1571 ?
|
30. For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
|
|
31. And he said H559 , What H4100 shall I give H5414 thee? And Jacob H3290 said H559 , Thou shalt not H3808 give H5414 me any thing H3972 : if H518 thou wilt do H6213 this H2088 thing H1697 for me , I will again H7725 feed H7462 and keep H8104 thy flock H6629 :
|
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:
|
|
32. I will pass through H5674 all H3605 thy flock H6629 today H3117 , removing H5493 from thence H4480 H8033 all H3605 the speckled H5348 and spotted H2921 cattle H7716 , and all H3605 the brown H2345 cattle H7716 among the sheep H3775 , and the spotted H2921 and speckled H5348 among the goats H5795 : and of such shall be H1961 my hire H7939 .
|
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.
|
|
33. So shall my righteousness H6666 answer H6030 for me in time H3117 to come H4279 , when H3588 it shall come H935 for H5921 my hire H7939 before thy face H6440 : every one H3605 that H834 is not H369 speckled H5348 and spotted H2921 among the goats H5795 , and brown H2345 among the sheep H3775 , that H1931 shall be counted stolen H1589 with H854 me.
|
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.
|
|
34. And Laban H3837 said H559 , Behold H2005 , I would H3863 it might be H1961 according to thy word H1697 .
|
34. And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
|
|
35. And he removed H5493 that H1931 day H3117 H853 the he goats H8495 that were ringstreaked H6124 and spotted H2921 , and all H3605 the she goats H5795 that were speckled H5348 and spotted H2921 , and every one H3605 that H834 had some white H3836 in it , and all H3605 the brown H2345 among the sheep H3775 , and gave H5414 them into the hand H3027 of his sons H1121 .
|
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.
|
|
36. And he set H7760 three H7969 days H3117 ' journey H1870 between H996 himself and Jacob H3290 : and Jacob H3290 fed H7462 H853 the rest H3498 of Laban H3837 's flocks H6629 .
|
36. And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
|
|
37. And Jacob H3290 took H3947 him rods H4731 of green H3892 poplar H3839 , and of the hazel H3869 and chestnut tree H6196 ; and peeled H6478 white H3836 streaks H6479 in them H2004 , and made the white H3836 appear H4286 which H834 was in H5921 the rods H4731 .
|
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.
|
|
38. And he set H3322 H853 the rods H4731 which H834 he had peeled H6478 before H5227 the flocks H6629 in the gutters H7298 in the watering H4325 troughs H8268 when H834 the flocks H6629 came H935 to drink H8354 , that they should conceive H3179 when they came H935 to drink H8354 .
|
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.
|
|
39. And the flocks H6629 conceived H3179 before H413 the rods H4731 , and brought forth H3205 cattle H6629 ringstreaked H6124 , speckled H5348 , and spotted H2921 .
|
39. And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
|
|
40. And Jacob H3290 did separate H6504 the lambs H3775 , and set H5414 the faces H6440 of the flocks H6629 toward H413 the ringstreaked H6124 , and all H3605 the brown H2345 in the flock H6629 of Laban H3837 ; and he put H7896 his own flocks H5739 by themselves H905 , and put H7896 them not H3808 unto H5921 Laban H3837 's cattle H6629 .
|
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.
|
|
41. And it came to pass H1961 , whensoever H3605 the stronger H7194 cattle H6629 did conceive H3179 , that Jacob H3290 laid H7760 H853 the rods H4731 before the eyes H5869 of the cattle H6629 in the gutters H7298 , that they might conceive H3179 among the rods H4731 .
|
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.
|
|
42. But when the cattle H6629 were feeble H5848 , he put H7760 them not H3808 in : so the feebler H5848 were H1961 Laban H3837 's , and the stronger H7194 Jacob H3290 's.
|
42. But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
|
|
43. And the man H376 increased H6555 exceedingly H3966 H3966 , and had H1961 much H7227 cattle H6629 , and maidservants H8198 , and menservants H5650 , and camels H1581 , and asses H2543 .
|
43. And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
