In context

⁷And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.

⁸If he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore speckled offspring. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore streaked offspring.

⁹Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.

¹⁰When the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.

¹¹In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’
