Genesis 30:31 in Context — Genesis 30

29 Jacob lui dit: Tu sais comment je t’ai servi, et ce qu’est devenu ton troupeau avec moi;

30 car le peu que tu avais avant moi s’est beaucoup accru, et l’Éternel t’a béni sur mes pas. Maintenant, quand travaillerai-je aussi pour ma maison?

31 Laban dit: Que te donnerai-je? Et Jacob répondit: Tu ne me donneras rien. Si tu consens à ce que je vais te dire, je ferai paître encore ton troupeau, et je le garderai.

32 Je parcourrai aujourd’hui tout ton troupeau; mets à part parmi les brebis tout agneau tacheté et marqueté et tout agneau noir, et parmi les chèvres tout ce qui est marqueté et tacheté. Ce sera mon salaire.

33 Ma droiture répondra pour moi demain, quand tu viendras voir mon salaire; tout ce qui ne sera pas tacheté et marqueté parmi les chèvres, et noir parmi les agneaux, ce sera de ma part un vol.
