Genesis 30:32-36 New English Translation (NET)

32. Let 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.

33. My 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.”

35. So 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.

36. Then he separated them from Jacob by a three-day journey, while Jacob was taking care of the rest of Laban’s flocks.
