Genesis 31:9 Context
7And your father hath deceiued mee, and changed my wages ten times: but God suffered him not to hurt me. 8If hee said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages, then all the cattell bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ring-straked shalbe thy hire, then bare all the cattell ring-straked. 9Thus God hath taken away the cattell of your father, and giuen them to mee. 10And it came to passe at the time that the cattell conceiued, that I lifted vp mine eyes and saw in a dreame, and behold, the rammes which leaped vpon the cattell were ring-straked, speckled and grisled. 11And the Angel of God spake vnto me in a dreame, saying, Iacob; And I said, Here am I.
