New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Genesis 30
40 Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban; and he put his own herds apart, and did not put them with Laban’s flock.
41 Moreover, whenever the stronger of the flock were mating, Jacob would place the rods in the sight of the flock in the gutters, so that they might mate by the rods;
42 but when the flock was feeble, he did not put them in; so the feebler were Laban’s and the stronger Jacob’s.
43 So the man became exceedingly prosperous, and had large flocks and female and male servants and camels and donkeys.
Genesis 31
1 Now Jacob heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, "Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s, and from what belonged to our father he has made all this wealth."
2 Jacob saw the attitude of Laban, and behold, it was not friendly toward him as formerly.
3 Then the Lord said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you."
4 So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to his flock in the field,
5 and said to them, "I see your father’s attitude, that it is not friendly toward me as formerly, but the God of my father has been with me.
6 You know that I have served your father with all my strength.
7 Yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times; however, God did not allow him to hurt me.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
