00:00Jacob served his uncle Laban for seven years to marry Rachel, but was tricked into marrying her older sister Leah first.
00:09Laban demanded another seven years of labor for Rachel, which Jacob fulfilled.
00:14Afterward, Jacob wished to return to his homeland with his family.
00:18Laban, seeing his own wealth had greatly increased under Jacob's care, begged him to stay and name his wages.
00:24Jacob asked for all the speckled and spotted sheep and goats as his payment.
00:29Laban agreed, but then deceitfully removed those very animals from the flock, thinking to cheat Jacob again.
00:36Yet God was with Jacob.
00:38He used a clever breeding technique with peeled branches placed near the watering troughs.
00:43The strong, healthy flocks began to produce an abundance of speckled, spotted, and dark-colored offspring.
00:49These became Jacob's, and his flocks grew vast and robust while Laban's grew weak.
00:54Through God's favor, the deceiver was outwitted and Jacob prospered, preparing for his journey back to the land of his father.
01:01And he declared his father and his father.
