Jacob had served his uncle Laban for years, but he wanted to leave. He asked Laban to give him some livestock, in payment for his service.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Yo Jacob, didn't your uncle Laban promise you all the speckled sheep and goats? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Yee ha! You belong to me! | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
Jacob found a clever trick to make more animals have speckled offspring
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| But there's only one of me! That's not going to last you long | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Yee ha! I'm gonna put strips of willow in the paddock while the sheep are mating, so more of y'all come out speckled. Yee ha! | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
So Jacob took one thing, and made it many, a bit like interest on a bank account.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| There's hundreds of us now. You're a rich man, Jacob | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Yee ha! I can go and found myself a tribe! Yee ha! | |
 | |  |
