27. Laban said to him, “If now I have found favour in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that the Lord has blessed me for your sake.”
28. He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
29. Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
30. For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. The Lord has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
31. Laban said, “What shall I give you?”Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
32. I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one amongst the sheep, and the spotted and speckled amongst the goats. This will be my hire.
