After Jacob has Joseph, he prepares to leave Laban. He offers to take\\xa0as his wages all speckled and spotted lambs. Laban sent all speckled\\xa0and spotted lambs away so that they could not breed, but Jacob places\\xa0spotted rods in front of the lambs, and they all produce speckled and\\xa0spotted offspring.

When Jacob leaves Laban, Rachel steals Laban\'s household gods, and\\xa0when confronted, places them under a saddle claiming that she was\\xa0having her period and avoids being searched. Jacob agrees not to\\xa0mistreat Laban\'s daughters and they both agree not to return to the\\xa0other\'s territory.
