Genesis 31 7

Quote:
6"(E)You know that I have served your father with all my strength. 7"Yet your father has (F)cheated me and (G)changed my wages ten times; however, (H)God did not allow him to hurt me.
8"If (I)he spoke thus, 'The speckled shall be your wages,' then all the flock brought forth speckled; and if he spoke thus, 'The striped shall be your wages,' then all the flock brought forth striped.
9"Thus God has (J)taken away your father's livestock and given them to me.
10"And it came about at the time when the flock were mating that I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which were mating were striped, speckled, and mottled.
11"Then (K)the angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob,' and I said, 'Here I am.'
12"He said, 'Lift up now your eyes and see that all the male goats which are mating are striped, speckled, and mottled; for (L)I have seen all that Laban has been doing to you.
Even genetics is in the Bible!
