30Indeed, you had little before I arrived, but now your possessions have increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I worked. But now, how long must it be before I do something for my own family too?”
31So Laban asked,“What should I give you?”“You don’t need to give me a thing,” Jacob replied,“but if you agree to this one condition, I will continue to care for your flocks and protect them:
32Let me walk among all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and the spotted or speckled goats. These animals will be my wages.
33My integrity will testify for me later on. When you come to verify that I’ve taken only the wages we agreed on, if I have in my possession any goat that is not speckled or spotted or any sheep that is not dark-colored, it will be considered stolen.”
34“Agreed!” said Laban,“It will be as you say.”
35So that day Laban removed the male goats that were streaked or spotted, all the female goats that were speckled or spotted(all that had any white on them), and all the dark-colored lambs, and put them in the care of his sons.

37But Jacob took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond, and plane trees. He made white streaks by peeling them, making the white inner wood in the branches visible.
