Genesis 31:8 in Context — Genesis 31
6 Y vosotras sabéis que con todas mis fuerzas he servido á vuestro padre:
7 Y vuestro padre me ha engañado, y me ha mudado el salario diez veces: pero Dios no le ha permitido que me hiciese mal.
8 Si él decía así: Los pintados serán tu salario; entonces todas las ovejas parían pintados: y si decía así: Los listados serán tu salario; entonces todas las ovejas parían listados.
9 Así quitó Dios el ganado de vuestro padre, y diómelo á mí.
10 Y sucedió que al tiempo que las ovejas se recalentaban, alcé yo mis ojos y vi en sueños, y he aquí los machos que cubrían á las hembras [eran] listados, pintados y abigarrados.
