4 So Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah and summoned them into the field where his flock was.
5 He said to them, "I am aware that your father no longer likes me as much as he used to. But my father’s God has been with me.
6 You know that I’ve worked for your father as hard as I could.
7 But your father cheated me and changed my payment ten times. Yet God didn’t let him harm me.
8 If he said, ‘The speckled ones will be your payment,’ the whole flock gave birth to speckled young. And if he said, ‘The striped ones will be your payment,’ the whole flock gave birth to striped young.
9 God took away your father’s livestock and gave them to me.
10 When the flocks were mating, I looked up and saw in a dream that the male goats that mounted the flock were striped, speckled, and spotted.
