‏ Genesis 30:30-33

Summary for Gen 30:30-33: 30:30-33 ^a Jacob agreed that God had blessed Laban through him, so he made a plan to gain something for himself. He proposed for his wages the rare black and multicolored goats and the speckled and spotted sheep that were born.
30:32 ^b As Abraham had done with Lot (13:9 ^c), Jacob gave Laban what he valued most. White sheep were more common and more valuable than dark or multicolored sheep; as a man of faith, Jacob was willing to take the rejects (cp. 1 Cor 1:26 ^d).
