New Century Version

Genesis 31:6-10 New Century Version (NCV)

6. You both know that I have worked as hard as I could for your father,

7. but he cheated me and changed my pay ten times. But God has not allowed your father to harm me.

8. When Laban said, ‘You can have all the speckled animals as your pay,’ all the animals gave birth to speckled young ones. But when he said, ‘You can have all the streaked animals as your pay,’ all the flocks gave birth to streaked babies.

9. So God has taken the animals away from your father and has given them to me.

10. “I had a dream during the season when the flocks were mating. I saw that the only male goats who were mating were streaked, speckled, or spotted.
