Genesis 31:4-8 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

4. So Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah to meet him in the field where his flock was.

5. There he said to them: “I have noticed that your father’s attitude toward me is not as it was in the past; but the God of my father has been with me.

6. You know well that with all my strength I served your father;

7. yet your father cheated me and changed my wages ten times. God, however, did not let him do me any harm.

8. Whenever your father said, ‘The speckled animals will be your wages,’ the entire flock would bear speckled young; whenever he said, ‘The streaked animals will be your wages,’ the entire flock would bear streaked young.
