23 And she conceived, and bore a son, and said to Rachel, God hath taken away my shame.

24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, 'The Lord will give me another son.'

25 After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Let me go, and I will go to my place and to my land;

26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, and I will go, for you know my service as I have served you.

27 And Laban said unto him, O that I might find favor in thy eyes! I notice that the Lord has blessed me for you.

28 And he said, 'Appoint for yourself a reward from me, and I will give it.'

29 And he said to him, 'You know how I have served you, and what your cattle have become with me;

30 For thou hadst little before me, but thou hast become much; The Lord has blessed you with my coming; When will I work for my home?

31 And Laban said, 'What shall I give you?' And Jacob said to him, Give me nothing. If only thou wilt do unto me what I say, I will again shepherd and guard thy sheep.

32 I will pass through all thy flock to-day; and thou shalt separate from it every speckled cattle and spotted, and every black beast of the sheep, and also with spots and speckled goats. Such cattle shall be my reward [and shall be mine].

33 And my justice shall speak for me before thee, in the next time, when thou comest to see my reward. Every goat is not speckled or spotted, and every sheep is not black, it is stolen from me.

34 And Laban said to him, 'Very well, let it be according to your word.'

35 And in that day he separated the goats that were motley and spotted, and all the goats speckled and spotted, all that had a few white on them, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the hands of his sons.

36 and he appointed the distance between himself and between Jacob for three days' journey. And Jacob tended the rest of Laban's flocks.
