Genesis 31:8 in Context — Genesis 31
6 E vós sabeis que com todas minhas forças servi a vosso pai:
7 E vosso pai me enganou, e me mudou o salário dez vezes: mas Deus não lhe permitiu que me fizesse mal.
8 Se ele dizia assim: Os pintados serão teu salário; então todas as ovelhas geravam pintados: e se dizia assim: Os listrados serão teu salário; então todas as ovelhas geravam listrados.
9 Assim tirou Deus o gado de vosso pai, e deu-o a mim.
10 E sucedeu que ao tempo que as ovelhas se aqueciam, levantei eu meus olhos e vi em sonhos, e eis que os machos que cobriam às fêmeas eram listrados, pintados e malhados.
