KJV

1  And when Rachel7354 saw7200 that3588 she bore Jacob no children,3205 3808 3290 Rachel7354 envied7065 her sister;269 and said559 unto413 Jacob,3290 Give3051 me children,1121 or518 else369 I595 die.4191

2  And Jacob's3290 anger639 was kindled2734 against Rachel:7354 and he said,559 Am I595 in God's430 stead,8478 who834 hath withheld4513 from4480 thee the fruit6529 of the womb?990

3  And she said,559 Behold2009 my maid519 Bilhah,1090 go in935 unto413 her; and she shall bear3205 upon5921 my knees,1290 that I595 may also1571 have children1129 by4480 her.

4  And she gave5414 him 853 Bilhah1090 her handmaid8198 to wife:802 and Jacob3290 went in935 unto413 her.

5  And Bilhah1090 conceived,2029 and bore3205 Jacob3290 a son.1121

6  And Rachel7354 said,559 God430 hath judged1777 me, and hath also1571 heard8085 my voice,6963 and hath given5414 me a son:1121 therefore5921 3651 called7121 she his name8034 Dan.1835

7  And Bilhah1090 Rachel's7354 maid8198 conceived2029 again,5750 and bore3205 Jacob3290 a second8145 son.1121

8  And Rachel7354 said,559 With great430 wrestlings5319 have I wrestled6617 with5973 my sister,269 and1571 I have prevailed:3201 and she called7121 his name8034 Naphtali.5321

9  When Leah3812 saw7200 that3588 she had left5975 bearing,4480 3205 she took3947 853 Zilpah2153 her maid,8198 and gave5414 her Jacob3290 to wife.802

10  And Zilpah2153 Leah's3812 maid8198 bore3205 Jacob3290 a son.1121

11  And Leah3812 said,559 A troop cometh:1413 and she called7121 853 his name8034 Gad.1410

12  And Zilpah2153 Leah's3812 maid8198 bore3205 Jacob3290 a second8145 son.1121

13  And Leah3812 said,559 Happy837 am I, for3588 the daughters1323 will call me blessed:833 and she called7121 853 his name8034 Asher.836

14  And Reuben7205 went1980 in the days3117 of wheat2406 harvest,7105 and found4672 mandrakes1736 in the field,7704 and brought935 them unto413 his mother517 Leah.3812 Then Rachel7354 said559 to413 Leah,3812 Give5414 me, I pray thee,4994 of thy son's1121 mandrakes.4480 1736

15  And she said559 unto her, Is it a small matter4592 that thou hast taken3947 853 my husband?376 and wouldest thou take away3947 853 my son's1121 mandrakes1736 also?1571 And Rachel7354 said,559 Therefore3651 he shall lie7901 with5973 thee tonight3915 for8478 thy son's1121 mandrakes.1736

16  And Jacob3290 came935 out of4480 the field7704 in the evening,6153 and Leah3812 went out3318 to meet7125 him, and said,559 Thou must come in935 unto413 me; for3588 surely I have hired7936 7936 thee with my son's1121 mandrakes.1736 And he lay7901 with5973 her that1931 night.3915

17  And God430 hearkened8085 unto413 Leah,3812 and she conceived,2029 and bore3205 Jacob3290 the fifth2549 son.1121

18  And Leah3812 said,559 God430 hath given5414 me my hire,7939 because834 I have given5414 my maiden8198 to my husband:376 and she called7121 his name8034 Issachar.3485

19  And Leah3812 conceived2029 again,5750 and bore3205 Jacob3290 the sixth8345 son.1121

20  And Leah3812 said,559 God430 hath endued2064 me with a good2896 dowry;2065 now6471 will my husband376 dwell with2082 me, because3588 I have born3205 him six8337 sons:1121 and she called7121 853 his name8034 Zebulun.2074

21  And afterwards310 she bore3205 a daughter,1323 and called7121 853 her name8034 Dinah.1783

22  And God430 remembered2142 853 Rachel,7354 and God430 hearkened8085 to413 her, and opened6605 853 her womb.7358

23  And she conceived,2029 and bore3205 a son;1121 and said,559 God430 hath taken away622 853 my reproach:2781

24  And she called7121 853 his name8034 Joseph;3130 and said,559 The LORD3068 shall add3254 to me another312 son.1121

25  And it came to pass,1961 when834 Rachel7354 had born3205 853 Joseph,3130 that Jacob3290 said559 unto413 Laban,3837 Send me away,7971 that I may go1980 unto413 mine own place,4725 and to my country.776

26  Give5414 me 853 my wives802 and my children,3206 for whom834 2004 I have served5647 thee, and let me go:1980 for3588 thou859 knowest3045 853 my service5656 which834 I have done5647 thee.

27  And Laban3837 said559 unto413 him, I pray thee,4994 if518 I have found4672 favor2580 in thine eyes,5869 tarry: for I have learned by experience5172 that the LORD3068 hath blessed1288 me for thy sake.1558

28  And he said,559 Appoint5344 5921 me thy wages,7939 and I will give5414 it.

29  And he said559 unto413 him, Thou859 knowest3045 853 how834 I have served5647 thee, and how834 thy cattle4735 was1961 with854 me.

30  For3588 it was little4592 which834 thou hadst1961 before6440 I came, and it is now increased6555 unto a multitude;7230 and the LORD3068 hath blessed1288 thee since my coming:7272 and now6258 when4970 shall I595 provide6213 for mine own house1004 also?1571

31  And he said,559 What4100 shall I give5414 thee? And Jacob3290 said,559 Thou shalt not3808 give5414 me any thing:3972 if518 thou wilt do6213 this2088 thing1697 for me, I will again7725 feed7462 and keep8104 thy flock:6629

32  I will pass through5674 all3605 thy flock6629 today,3117 removing5493 from thence4480 8033 all3605 the speckled5348 and spotted2921 cattle,7716 and all3605 the brown2345 cattle7716 among the sheep,3775 and the spotted2921 and speckled5348 among the goats:5795 and of such shall be1961 my hire.7939

33  So shall my righteousness6666 answer6030 for me in time3117 to come,4279 when3588 it shall come935 for5921 my hire7939 before thy face:6440 every one3605 that834 is not369 speckled5348 and spotted2921 among the goats,5795 and brown2345 among the sheep,3775 that1931 shall be counted stolen1589 with854 me.

34  And Laban3837 said,559 Behold,2005 I would3863 it might be1961 according to thy word.1697

35  And he removed5493 that1931 day3117 853 the he goats8495 that were ringstreaked6124 and spotted,2921 and all3605 the she goats5795 that were speckled5348 and spotted,2921 and every one3605 that834 had some white3836 in it, and all3605 the brown2345 among the sheep,3775 and gave5414 them into the hand3027 of his sons.1121

36  And he set7760 three7969 days'3117 journey1870 between996 himself and Jacob:3290 and Jacob3290 fed7462 853 the rest3498 of Laban's3837 flocks.6629

37  And Jacob3290 took3947 him rods4731 of green3892 poplar,3839 and of the hazel3869 and chestnut tree;6196 and peeled6478 white3836 streaks6479 in them,2004 and made the white3836 appear4286 which834 was in5921 the rods.4731

38  And he set3322 853 the rods4731 which834 he had peeled6478 before5227 the flocks6629 in the gutters7298 in the watering4325 troughs8268 when834 the flocks6629 came935 to drink,8354 that they should conceive3179 when they came935 to drink.8354

39  And the flocks6629 conceived3179 before413 the rods,4731 and brought forth3205 cattle6629 ringstreaked,6124 speckled,5348 and spotted.2921

40  And Jacob3290 did separate6504 the lambs,3775 and set5414 the faces6440 of the flocks6629 toward413 the ringstreaked,6124 and all3605 the brown2345 in the flock6629 of Laban;3837 and he put7896 his own flocks5739 by themselves,905 and put7896 them not3808 unto5921 Laban's3837 cattle.6629

41  And it came to pass,1961 whensoever3605 the stronger7194 cattle6629 did conceive,3179 that Jacob3290 laid7760 853 the rods4731 before the eyes5869 of the cattle6629 in the gutters,7298 that they might conceive3179 among the rods.4731

42  But when the cattle6629 were feeble,5848 he put7760 them not3808 in: so the feebler5848 were1961 Laban's,3837 and the stronger7194 Jacob's.3290

43  And the man376 increased6555 exceedingly,3966 3966 and had1961 much7227 cattle,6629 and maidservants,8198 and menservants,5650 and camels,1581 and asses.2543

1 ἰδοῦσα δὲ Ραχηλ ὅτι οὐ τέτοκεν τῷ Ιακωβ καὶ ἐζήλωσεν Ραχηλ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Ιακωβ δός μοι τέκνα εἰ δὲ μή τελευτήσω ἐγώ

2 ἐθυμώθη δὲ Ιακωβ τῇ Ραχηλ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ μὴ ἀντὶ θεοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι ὃς ἐστέρησέν σε καρπὸν κοιλίας

3 εἶπεν δὲ Ραχηλ τῷ Ιακωβ ἰδοὺ ἡ παιδίσκη μου Βαλλα εἴσελθε πρὸς αὐτήν καὶ τέξεται ἐπὶ τῶν γονάτων μου καὶ τεκνοποιήσομαι κἀγὼ ἐξ αὐτῆς

4 καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Βαλλαν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτῆς αὐτῷ γυναῖκα εἰσῆλθεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν Ιακωβ

5 καὶ συνέλαβεν Βαλλα ἡ παιδίσκη Ραχηλ καὶ ἔτεκεν τῷ Ιακωβ υἱόν

6 καὶ εἶπεν Ραχηλ ἔκρινέν μοι ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἐπήκουσεν τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ ἔδωκέν μοι υἱόν διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Δαν

7 καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι Βαλλα ἡ παιδίσκη Ραχηλ καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν δεύτερον τῷ Ιακωβ

8 καὶ εἶπεν Ραχηλ συνελάβετό μοι ὁ θεός καὶ συνανεστράφην τῇ ἀδελφῇ μου καὶ ἠδυνάσθην καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Νεφθαλι

9 εἶδεν δὲ Λεια ὅτι ἔστη τοῦ τίκτειν καὶ ἔλαβεν Ζελφαν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτῆς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ Ιακωβ γυναῖκα

10 εἰσῆλθεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν Ιακωβ καὶ συνέλαβεν Ζελφα ἡ παιδίσκη Λειας καὶ ἔτεκεν τῷ Ιακωβ υἱόν

11 καὶ εἶπεν Λεια ἐν τύχῃ καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Γαδ

12 καὶ συνέλαβεν Ζελφα ἡ παιδίσκη Λειας καὶ ἔτεκεν ἔτι τῷ Ιακωβ υἱὸν δεύτερον

13 καὶ εἶπεν Λεια μακαρία ἐγώ ὅτι μακαρίζουσίν με αἱ γυναῖκες καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ασηρ

14 ἐπορεύθη δὲ Ρουβην ἐν ἡμέραις θερισμοῦ πυρῶν καὶ εὗρεν μῆλα μανδραγόρου ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὰ πρὸς Λειαν τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ εἶπεν δὲ Ραχηλ τῇ Λεια δός μοι τῶν μανδραγορῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ σου

15 εἶπεν δὲ Λεια οὐχ ἱκανόν σοι ὅτι ἔλαβες τὸν ἄνδρα μου μὴ καὶ τοὺς μανδραγόρας τοῦ υἱοῦ μου λήμψῃ εἶπεν δὲ Ραχηλ οὐχ οὕτως κοιμηθήτω μετὰ σοῦ τὴν νύκτα ταύτην ἀντὶ τῶν μανδραγορῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ σου

16 εἰσῆλθεν δὲ Ιακωβ ἐξ ἀγροῦ ἑσπέρας καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Λεια εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπεν πρός με εἰσελεύσῃ σήμερον μεμίσθωμαι γάρ σε ἀντὶ τῶν μανδραγορῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ μου καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετ᾽ αὐτῆς τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην

17 καὶ ἐπήκουσεν ὁ θεὸς Λειας καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν τῷ Ιακωβ υἱὸν πέμπτον

18 καὶ εἶπεν Λεια ἔδωκεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν μισθόν μου ἀνθ᾽ οὗ ἔδωκα τὴν παιδίσκην μου τῷ ἀνδρί μου καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ισσαχαρ ὅ ἐστιν Μισθός

19 καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι Λεια καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν ἕκτον τῷ Ιακωβ

20 καὶ εἶπεν Λεια δεδώρηταί μοι ὁ θεὸς δῶρον καλόν ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ αἱρετιεῖ με ὁ ἀνήρ μου ἔτεκον γὰρ αὐτῷ υἱοὺς ἕξ καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ζαβουλων

21 καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἔτεκεν θυγατέρα καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Δινα

22 ἐμνήσθη δὲ ὁ θεὸς τῆς Ραχηλ καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῆς ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἀνέῳξεν αὐτῆς τὴν μήτραν

23 καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν τῷ Ιακωβ υἱόν εἶπεν δὲ Ραχηλ ἀφεῖλεν ὁ θεός μου τὸ ὄνειδος

24 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ιωσηφ λέγουσα προσθέτω ὁ θεός μοι υἱὸν ἕτερον

25 ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ἔτεκεν Ραχηλ τὸν Ιωσηφ εἶπεν Ιακωβ τῷ Λαβαν ἀπόστειλόν με ἵνα ἀπέλθω εἰς τὸν τόπον μου καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου

26 ἀπόδος τὰς γυναῖκάς μου καὶ τὰ παιδία περὶ ὧν δεδούλευκά σοι ἵνα ἀπέλθω σὺ γὰρ γινώσκεις τὴν δουλείαν ἣν δεδούλευκά σοι

27 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Λαβαν εἰ εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου οἰωνισάμην ἄν εὐλόγησεν γάρ με ὁ θεὸς τῇ σῇ εἰσόδῳ

28 διάστειλον τὸν μισθόν σου πρός με καὶ δώσω

29 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Ιακωβ σὺ γινώσκεις ἃ δεδούλευκά σοι καὶ ὅσα ἦν κτήνη σου μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ

30 μικρὰ γὰρ ἦν ὅσα σοι ἦν ἐναντίον ἐμοῦ καὶ ηὐξήθη εἰς πλῆθος καὶ ηὐλόγησέν σε κύριος ἐπὶ τῷ ποδί μου νῦν οὖν πότε ποιήσω κἀγὼ ἐμαυτῷ οἶκον

31 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Λαβαν τί σοι δώσω εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Ιακωβ οὐ δώσεις μοι οὐθέν ἐὰν ποιήσῃς μοι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο πάλιν ποιμανῶ τὰ πρόβατά σου καὶ φυλάξω

32 παρελθάτω πάντα τὰ πρόβατά σου σήμερον καὶ διαχώρισον ἐκεῖθεν πᾶν πρόβατον φαιὸν ἐν τοῖς ἀρνάσιν καὶ πᾶν διάλευκον καὶ ῥαντὸν ἐν ταῖς αἰξίν ἔσται μοι μισθός

33 καὶ ἐπακούσεταί μοι ἡ δικαιοσύνη μου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ αὔριον ὅτι ἐστὶν ὁ μισθός μου ἐνώπιόν σου πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ ῥαντὸν καὶ διάλευκον ἐν ταῖς αἰξὶν καὶ φαιὸν ἐν τοῖς ἀρνάσιν κεκλεμμένον ἔσται παρ᾽ ἐμοί

34 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Λαβαν ἔστω κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου

35 καὶ διέστειλεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τοὺς τράγους τοὺς ῥαντοὺς καὶ τοὺς διαλεύκους καὶ πάσας τὰς αἶγας τὰς ῥαντὰς καὶ τὰς διαλεύκους καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἦν λευκὸν ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἦν φαιὸν ἐν τοῖς ἀρνάσιν καὶ ἔδωκεν διὰ χειρὸς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ

36 καὶ ἀπέστησεν ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ιακωβ Ιακωβ δὲ ἐποίμαινεν τὰ πρόβατα Λαβαν τὰ ὑπολειφθέντα

37 ἔλαβεν δὲ ἑαυτῷ Ιακωβ ῥάβδον στυρακίνην χλωρὰν καὶ καρυίνην καὶ πλατάνου καὶ ἐλέπισεν αὐτὰς Ιακωβ λεπίσματα λευκὰ περισύρων τὸ χλωρόν ἐφαίνετο δὲ ἐπὶ ταῖς ῥάβδοις τὸ λευκόν ὃ ἐλέπισεν ποικίλον

38 καὶ παρέθηκεν τὰς ῥάβδους ἃς ἐλέπισεν ἐν ταῖς ληνοῖς τῶν ποτιστηρίων τοῦ ὕδατος ἵνα ὡς ἂν ἔλθωσιν τὰ πρόβατα πιεῖν ἐνώπιον τῶν ῥάβδων ἐλθόντων αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πιεῖν

39 ἐγκισσήσωσιν τὰ πρόβατα εἰς τὰς ῥάβδους καὶ ἔτικτον τὰ πρόβατα διάλευκα καὶ ποικίλα καὶ σποδοειδῆ ῥαντά

40 τοὺς δὲ ἀμνοὺς διέστειλεν Ιακωβ καὶ ἔστησεν ἐναντίον τῶν προβάτων κριὸν διάλευκον καὶ πᾶν ποικίλον ἐν τοῖς ἀμνοῖς καὶ διεχώρισεν ἑαυτῷ ποίμνια καθ᾽ ἑαυτὸν καὶ οὐκ ἔμιξεν αὐτὰ εἰς τὰ πρόβατα Λαβαν

41 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ᾧ ἐνεκίσσησεν τὰ πρόβατα ἐν γαστρὶ λαμβάνοντα ἔθηκεν Ιακωβ τὰς ῥάβδους ἐναντίον τῶν προβάτων ἐν ταῖς ληνοῖς τοῦ ἐγκισσῆσαι αὐτὰ κατὰ τὰς ῥάβδους

42 ἡνίκα δ᾽ ἂν ἔτεκον τὰ πρόβατα οὐκ ἐτίθει ἐγένετο δὲ τὰ ἄσημα τοῦ Λαβαν τὰ δὲ ἐπίσημα τοῦ Ιακωβ

43 καὶ ἐπλούτησεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος σφόδρα σφόδρα καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ κτήνη πολλὰ καὶ βόες καὶ παῖδες καὶ παιδίσκαι καὶ κάμηλοι καὶ ὄνοι

1 Cernens autem Rachel quod infecunda esset, invidit sorori suæ, et ait marito suo: Da mihi liberos, alioquin moriar.

2 Cui iratus respondit Jacob: Num pro Deo ego sum, qui privavit te fructu ventris tui?

3 At illa: Habeo, inquit, famulam Balam: ingredere ad illam, ut pariat super genua mea, et habeam ex illa filios.

4 Deditque illi Balam in conjugium: quæ,

5 ingresso ad se viro, concepit, et peperit filium.

6 Dixitque Rachel: Judicavit mihi Dominus, et exaudivit vocem meam, dans mihi filium, et idcirco appellavit nomen ejus Dan.

7 Rursumque Bala concipiens, peperit alterum,

8 pro quo ait Rachel: Comparavit me Deus cum sorore mea, et invalui: vocavitque eum Nephthali.

9 Sentiens Lia quod parere desiisset, Zelpham ancillam suam marito tradidit.

10 Qua post conceptum edente filium,

11 dixit: Feliciter, et idcirco vocavit nomen ejus Gad.

12 Peperit quoque Zelpha alterum.

13 Dixitque Lia: Hoc pro beatitudine mea: beatam quippe me dicent mulieres: propterea appellavit eum Aser.

14 Egressus autem Ruben tempore messis triticeæ in agrum, reperit mandragoras, quas matri Liæ detulit. Dixitque Rachel: Da mihi partem de mandragoris filii tui.

15 Illa respondit: Parumne tibi videtur quod præripueris maritum mihi, nisi etiam mandragoras filii mei tuleris? Ait Rachel: Dormiat tecum hac nocte pro mandragoris filii tui.

16 Redeuntique ad vesperam Jacob de agro, egressa est in occursum ejus Lia, et Ad me, inquit, intrabis: quia mercede conduxi te pro mandragoris filii mei. Dormivitque cum ea nocte illa.

17 Et exaudivit Deus preces ejus, concepitque et peperit filium quintum,

18 et ait: Dedit Deus mercedem mihi, quia dedi ancillam meam viro meo: appellavitque nomen ejus Issachar.

19 Rursum Lia concipiens, peperit sextum filium,

20 et ait: Dotavit me Deus dote bona: etiam hac vice mecum erit maritus meus, eo quod genuerim ei sex filios: et idcirco appellavit nomen ejus Zabulon.

21 Post quem peperit filiam, nomine Dinam.

22 Recordatus quoque Dominus Rachelis, exaudivit eam, et aperuit vulvam ejus.

23 Quæ concepit, et peperit filium, dicens: Abstulit Deus opprobrium meum.

24 Et vocavit nomen ejus Joseph, dicens: Addat mihi Dominus filium alterum.

25 Nato autem Joseph, dixit Jacob socero suo: Dimitte me ut revertar in patriam, et ad terram meam.

26 Da mihi uxores, et liberos meos, pro quibus servivi tibi, ut abeam: tu nosti servitutem qua servivi tibi.

27 Ait illi Laban: Inveniam gratiam in conspectu tuo, experimento didici, quia benedixerit mihi Deus propter te:

28 constitue mercedem tuam quam dem tibi.

29 At ille respondit: Tu nosti quomodo servierim tibi, et quanta in manibus meis fuerit possessio tua.

30 Modicum habuisti antequam venirem ad te, et nunc dives effectus es: benedixitque tibi Dominus ad introitum meum. Justum est igitur ut aliquando provideam etiam domui meæ.

31 Dixitque Laban: Quid tibi dabo? At ille ait: Nihil volo: sed si feceris quod postulo, iterum pascam, et custodiam pecora tua.

32 Gyra omnes greges tuos, et separa cunctas oves varias, et sparso vellere; quodcumque furvum, et maculosum, variumque fuerit, tam in ovibus quam in capris, erit merces mea.

33 Respondebitque mihi cras justitia mea, quando placiti tempus advenerit coram te: et omnia quæ non fuerint varia, et maculosa, et furva, tam in ovibus quam in capris, furti me arguent.

34 Dixitque Laban: Gratum habeo quod petis.

35 Et separavit in die illa capras, et oves, et hircos, et arietes varios, atque maculosos: cunctum autem gregem unicolorem, id est albi et nigri velleris, tradidit in manu filiorum suorum.

36 Et posuit spatium itineris trium dierum inter se et generum, qui pascebat reliquos greges ejus.

37 Tollens ergo Jacob virgas populeas virides, et amygdalinas, et ex platanis, ex parte decorticavit eas: detractisque corticibus, in his, quæ spoliata fuerant, candor apparuit: illa vero quæ integra fuerant, viridia permanserunt: atque in hunc modum color effectus est varius.

38 Posuitque eas in canalibus, ubi effundebatur aqua: ut cum venissent greges ad bibendum, ante oculos haberent virgas, et in aspectu earum conciperent.

39 Factumque est ut in ipso calore coitus, oves intuerentur virgas, et parerent maculosa, et varia, et diverso colore respersa.

40 Divisitque gregem Jacob, et posuit virgas in canalibus ante oculos arietum: erant autem alba et nigra quæque, Laban; cetera vero, Jacob, separatis inter se gregibus.

41 Igitur quando primo tempore ascendebantur oves, ponebat Jacob virgas in canalibus aquarum ante oculos arietum et ovium, ut in earum contemplatione conciperent:

42 quando vero serotina admissura erat, et conceptus extremus, non ponebat eas. Factaque sunt ea quæ erant serotina, Laban: et quæ primi temporis, Jacob.

43 Ditatusque est homo ultra modum, et habuit greges multos, ancillas et servos, camelos et asinos.
