- 拉班說、我當給你甚麼呢。雅各說、甚麼你也不必給我、只有一件事、你若應承、我便仍舊牧放你的羊群。
- 今天我要走遍你的羊群、把綿羊中凡有點的、有斑的、和黑色的、並山羊中凡有斑的、有點的、都挑出來、將來這一等的、就算我的工價。
- 以後你來查看我的工價、凡在我手裡的山羊不是有點有斑的、綿羊不是黑色的、那就算是我偷的.這樣、便可證出我的公義來。
- 拉班說、好阿。我情願照著你的話行。
- 當日拉班把有紋的、有斑的公山羊、有點的、有斑的、有雜白紋的母山羊、並黑色的綿羊、都挑出來、交在他兒子們的手下.

- So he said, "What shall I give you?" And Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything. If you will do this one thing for me, I will again pasture and keep your flock:
- let me pass through your entire flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted sheep and every black one among the lambs and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be my wages.
- "So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come concerning my wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, will be considered stolen."
- Laban said, "Good, let it be according to your word."
- So he removed on that day the striped and spotted male goats and all the speckled and spotted female goats, every one with white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons.
