untoº

Send me away,ºº
that I may goººº
untoº
mine own place,º
and to my country.º |

Restore my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart, for thou knowest the service wherewith I have served thee. |
|
 30:26
Giveºº
[me]º
my wivesº
and my children,º
forº
whomºº
I have servedºº
thee, and let me go:ººº
forº
thouº
knowestººº
my serviceº
whichº
I have doneºº
thee. |
 30:27
And Laban said to him, If I have found grace in thy sight, I would augur [well], for the Lord has blessed me at thy coming in. |
|
 30:27
And Labanº
saidºº
untoº
him, I pray thee,º
ifº
I have foundºº
favourº
in thine eyes,º
[tarry: for] I have learned by experienceºº
that Yahwehº
hath blessedºº
me for thy sake.º |
 30:28
Appoint me thy wages, and I will give [them]. |
|
 30:28
And he said,ºº
Appointººº
me thy wages,º
and I will giveºº
[it]. |
 30:29
And Jacob said, Thou knowest in what things I have served thee, and how many cattle of thine are with me. |
|
 30:29
And he saidºº
untoº
him, Thouº
knowestººº
howº
I have servedºº
thee, and howº
thy cattleº
wasº
withº
me. |
 30:30
For it was little thou hadst before my time, and it is increased to a multitude, and the Lord God has blessed thee since my coming; now then, when shall I set up also my own house? |
|
 30:30
Forº
[it was] littleº
whichº
thou hadstº
beforeº
Iº
[came], and it is [now] increasedºº
unto a multitude;º
and Yahwehº
hath blessedºº
thee since my coming:º
and nowº
whenº
shall Iº
provideºº
for mine own houseº
also?º |
 30:31
And Laban said to him, What shall I give thee? and Jacob said to him, Thou shalt not give me anything; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again tend thy flocks and keep them. |
|
 30:31
And he said,ºº
Whatº
shall I giveº
thee?ºº
And Jacobº
said,ºº
Thou shalt notº
giveºº
me any thing:º
ifº
thou wilt doºº
thisº
thingº
for me, I will againºº
feedºº
[and] keepºº
thy flock:º |
 30:32
Let all thy sheep pass by to-day, and separate thence every grey sheep among the rams, and every one that is speckled and spotted among the goats-- [this] shall be my reward. |
|
 30:32
I will passºº
throughº
allº
thy flockº
to day,º
removingºº
from thenceºº
allº
the speckledº
and spottedºº
cattle,º
and allº
the brownº
cattleº
among the sheep,º
and the spottedºº
and speckledº
among the goats:º
and [of such] shall beº
my hire.º |
 30:33
And my righteousness shall answer for me on the morrow, for it is my reward before thee: whatever shall not be spotted and speckled among the goats, and grey among the rams, shall be stolen with me. |
|
 30:33
So shall my righteousnessº
answerºº
for me in timeº
to come,º
whenº
it shall comeºº
forº
my hireº
before thy face:º
every oneº
thatº
[is] notº
speckledº
and spottedºº
among the goats,º
and brownº
among the sheep,º
thatº
shall be counted stolenºº
withº
me. |
 30:34
And Laban said to him, Let it be according to thy word. |
|
 30:34
And Labanº
said,ºº
Behold,º
I wouldº
it might beºº
according to thy word.º |
 30:35
And he separated in that day the spotted and speckled he-goats, and all the spotted and speckled she-goats, and all that was grey among the rams, and every one that was white among them, and he gave them into the hand of his sons. |
|
 30:35
And he removedºº
thatº
dayºº
the he goatsº
that were ringstrakedº
and spotted,ºº
and allº
the she goatsº
that were speckledº
and spotted,ºº
[and] every oneº
thatº
had [some] whiteº
in it, and allº
the brownº
among the sheep,º
and gaveºº
[them] into the handº
of his sons.º |
 30:36
And he set a distance of a three days' journey between them and Jacob. And Jacob tended the cattle of Laban that were left behind. |
|
 30:36
And he setºº
threeº
days'º
journeyº
betwixtº
himself and Jacob:º
and Jacobº
fedººº
the restºº
of Laban'sº
flocks.º |
 30:37 ¶
And Jacob took to himself green rods of storax tree and walnut and plane-tree; and Jacob peeled in them white stripes; and as he drew off the green, the white stripe which he had made appeared alternate on the rods. |
|
 30:37 ¶
And Jacobº
tookºº
him rodsº
of greenº
poplar,º
and of the hazelº
and chesnut tree;º
and pilledºº
whiteº
strakesº
in them,º
and made the whiteº
appearº
whichº
[was] inº
the rods.º |
 30:38
And he laid the rods which he had peeled, in the hollows of the watering-troughs, that whensoever the cattle should come to drink, as they should have come to drink before the rods, the cattle might conceive at the rods. |
|
 30:38
And he setººº
the rodsº
whichº
he had pilledºº
beforeº
the flocksº
in the guttersº
in the wateringº
troughsº
whenº
the flocksº
cameºº
to drink,ºº
that they should conceiveºº
when they cameºº
to drink.ºº |
 30:39
So the cattle conceived at the rods, and the cattle brought forth [young] speckled, and streaked and spotted with ash-coloured [spots]. |
|
 30:39
And the flocksº
conceivedºº
beforeº
the rods,º
and brought forthºº
cattleº
ringstraked,º
speckled,º
and spotted.ºº |
 30:40
And Jacob separated the lambs, and set before the sheep a speckled ram, and every variegated one among the lambs, and he separated flocks for himself alone, and did not mingle them with the sheep of Laban. |
|
 30:40
And Jacobº
did separateºº
the lambs,º
and setºº
the facesº
of the flocksº
towardº
the ringstraked,º
and allº
the brownº
in the flockº
of Laban;º
and he putºº
his own flocksº
by themselves,º
and putºº
them notº
untoº
Laban'sº
cattle.º |
 30:41
And it came to pass in the time wherein the cattle became pregnant, conceiving in the belly, Jacob put the rods before the cattle in the troughs, that they might conceive by the rods. |
|
 30:41
And it came to pass,º
whensoeverº
the strongerºº
cattleº
did conceive,ºº
that Jacobº
laidººº
the rodsº
before the eyesº
of the cattleº
in the gutters,º
that they might conceiveºº
among the rods.º |
 30:42
But he did not put them in [indiscriminately] whenever the cattle happened to bring forth, but the unmarked ones were Laban's, and the marked ones were Jacob's. |
|
 30:42
But when the cattleº
were feeble,ºº
he putº
[them] notº
in:ºº
so the feeblerºº
wereº
Laban's,º
and the strongerºº
Jacob's.º |
 30:43
And the man became very rich, and he had many cattle, and oxen, and servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses. |
|
 30:43
And the manº
increasedºº
exceedingly,º
and hadº
muchº
cattle,º
and maidservants,º
and menservants,º
and camels,º
and asses.º |
