30:32 Let me walk among ¹  all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, ²  and the spotted or speckled goats. ³  These animals will be my wages. ⁴

31:41 This was my lot ⁵  for twenty years in your house: I worked like a slave ⁶  for you – fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks, but you changed my wages ten times!

¹ tn Heb “pass through.”

² tn Or “every black lamb”; Heb “and every dark sheep among the lambs.”

³ tn Heb “and the spotted and speckled among the goats.”

⁴ tn Heb “and it will be my wage.” The referent collective singular pronoun (“it) has been specified as “these animals” in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tn Heb “this to me.”

⁶ tn Heb “served you,” but in this accusatory context the meaning is more “worked like a slave.”
