Genesis 30:28-34
Names of God Bible
28 So he offered, “Name your wages, and I’ll pay them.”
29 Jacob responded, “You know how much work I’ve done for you and what has happened to your livestock under my care. 30 The little that you had before I came has grown to a large amount. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I’ve been. When can I do something for my own family?”
31 Laban asked, “What should I give you?”

They will be my wages. 33 My honesty will speak for itself whenever you come to check on my wages. Any goat I have that isn’t speckled or spotted or any lamb that isn’t black will be considered stolen.”
34 Laban answered, “Agreed. We’ll do as you’ve said.”
