Genesis 30:32
Context30:32 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
Genesis 31:41
Context31:41 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.”
