This little set of Bible verses caught me off guard the first time I read the book. It's quite glaring, and I feel like if anyone were to read the book diligently, they would see this. Genesis 30:31-43 reads as follows:

31. "What wages do you want?" Laban asked again (to Jacob).
Jacob replied, "Don't give me anything at all. Just do one thing, and I'll go back to work for you. 32. Let me go out among your flocks today and remove all the sheep and goats that are speckled or spotted, along with all the dark colored sheep. Give them to me as my wages. 33. This will make it easy for you to see whether or not I have been honest. If you find in my flock any white sheep or goats that are not speckled, you will know that I have stolen them from you."
34. "All right," Laban replied. "It will be as you have said." 35. But that very day Laban went out and removed all the male goats that were speckled and spotted, the females that were speckled and spotted with any white patches, and all the dark colored sheep. He placed them in the care of his sons, 36. and they took them three days' distance from where Jacob was. Meanwhile, Jacob stayed and cared for Laban's flock.
37. Now Jacob took fresh shoots from poplar, almond, and plane trees and peeled off strips of the bark to make white streaks on them. 38. Then he set up these peeled branches beside the watering troughs so Laban's flocks would see them as they came to drink, for that was when they mated. 39. So when the flocks mated in front of the white-streaked branches, all of their offspring were streaked, speckled, and spotted. 40. Jacob added them to his own flock, thus separating the lambs from Laban's flock. Then at mating time, he turned the flocks toward the streaked and dark colored rams in Laban's flock. This is how he built his flock from Laban's. 41. Whenever the stronger females were ready to mate, Jacob set up the peeled branches in front of them. 42. But he didn't do this with the weaker ones, so the weaker lambs belonged to Laban, and the stronger ones were Jacob's. 43. As a result, Jacob's flocks increased rapidly, and he became very wealthy, with many servants, camels, and donkeys.

Okay, I feel like any commentary is extraneous at this point. No amount of ridicule could possibly broach what this passage did for itself. But what the hell, why not try? Sounds fun. I might start posting other stuff like this as I read further into the Bible. Any comedic gold will surely be posted, though I know no funnier verses than this at the moment.
