OET (OET-RV) Let me look through all your flocks today and separate out from them all the lambs that are speckled, spotted, or dark-coloured, and all the young goats that are spotted or speckled. They will be my pay.

all/each/any/every sheep speckled and,spotted and=all lamb dark-coloured in/on/at/with,lambs
The Hebrew word for speckled refers to small spots, whereas spotted refers to medium-sized and bigger spots. In that part of the world, most sheep were white and most goats were solid brown or black. So Jacob was asking for the irregular animals for himself, including white sheep with dark marks, dark-colored goats with light marks and dark-colored lambs. You could put some of this information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “all the lambs that have speckles or spots, or that are dark-colored,”
וְטָל֥וּא וְנָקֹ֖ד בָּעִזִּ֑ים
and,spotted and,speckled in/on/at/with,goats
Alternate translation: “and all the kid goats that are spotted or speckled.”
וְהָיָ֖ה שְׂכָרִֽי
and=it_was wages,my
Alternate translation: “They will be my wages” or “Those animals will be my wages”
30:32 As Abraham had done with Lot (13:9), Jacob gave Laban what he valued most. White sheep were more common and more valuable than dark or multicolored sheep; as a man of faith, Jacob was willing to take the rejects (cp. 1 Cor 1:26).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
