Genesis 30:32-34
New American Standard Bible 1995
32 let me pass through your entire flock today, removing from there every (A)speckled and spotted sheep and every black [a]one among the lambs and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be my wages. 33 So my [b]honesty will answer for me later, when you come concerning my [c]wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, will be considered stolen.” 34 Laban said, “[d]Good, let it be according to your word.”

New International Version
32 Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb and every spotted or speckled goat.(A) They will be my wages.(B) 33 And my honesty will testify for me in the future, whenever you check on the wages you have paid me. Any goat in my possession that is not speckled or spotted, or any lamb that is not dark-colored,(C) will be considered stolen.(D)”
34 “Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”
