geneva@Genesis:30:32 @ I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: (note:)That which is spotted, from now on.(:note) and [of such] shall be my hire.

geneva@Genesis:30:33 @ So shall my (note:)God shall attest to my righteous dealing by rewarding my labours.(:note) righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that [is] not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.

geneva@Genesis:30:34 @ Then Laban sayde, Goe to, woulde God it might be according to thy saying.

geneva@Genesis:30:35 @ Therefore he tooke out the same day the hee goates that were partie coloured and with great spots, and all the shee goates with litle and great spots, and all that had white in them, and all the blacke among the sheepe, and put them in the keeping of his sonnes.

geneva@Genesis:30:36 @ And hee set three dayes iourney betweene himselfe and Iaakob; Iaakob kept the rest of Labans sheepe.
