Then Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs mean, which you have set by themselves?”

He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand so that it may be a witness to me, that I dug this well.”

Then Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

And Abraham said, “God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together.

let me pass through your entire flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted sheep and every black one among the lambs and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be my wages.

So my righteousness will answer for me later, when you come concerning my wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, will be considered stolen.”

And Jacob separated the lambs, and he made the flocks face toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban; and he set his own herds apart and did not set them with Laban’s flock.
