Welcome to my Hebrew reading & language series.
Genesis 30:31-34
Jacob and his father-in-law talked about how Jacob could be on his own last week. Jacob asked how he will be able to care for his own family. Wages were mentioned again.
When asked what he wanted, Jacob replied that he only wants to tend the flocks and take the odd ones with markings as his own wages. Later on, Laban will know that Jacob is honest because he will have no animals that are of solid color. Laban agreed to the idea.
We are now learning though, that Laban is a worse cheater than Jacob. I wonder what the next deception will be.
Today's reading
English
He said, "What shall I give you?" Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything. If you will do this for me, I will again pasture your flock and keep it: let me pass through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep and every black lamb, and the spotted and speckled among the goats, and they shall be my wages. So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come to look into my wages with you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, shall be counted stolen." Laban said, "Good! Let it be as you have said."

The story continues next week as Laban tests Jacob's blessing...
