Re: a test for honesty.
Ref to post 17 this is my response to you. Jacob removes the flock not laban. There is no con and there is no cheater. FYI: I did make some changes to it just a few minutes ago so you may want to reread it before responding, if you still disagree. Edited by Alias, : clarity Edited by Alias, : clarity

Re: a test for honesty.
Jacob removes the flock not laban. I don't care what you said in post 17. The text itself explicit states that Laban did the initial separating out of the sheep. Genesis 30:34-36 (KJV)
quote:
34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word. 35 And he removed that day the goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons. 36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
"He" and "himself" in these three verses are pretty clearly Laban and "thy" or "you" is pretty clearly Jacob. In fact, it is impossible to interpret "he" and "himself" in Verse 36 as being Jacob. It is also quite clear that the sons in verse 35 are Laban's sons. At the end of verse 36, Jacob is assigned to tend pure white flocks and that is where his payment is going to have to come from. Laban and his sons are going to watch over the speckled animals from the original flocks. Jacob then responds by making the strong goats in the flock produce strong specked offspring. He lets the weak sheep produce white offspring which are presumably weak. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Re: Making stuff up.
laban has no sons Really? Then who was that pissed off group of folks in Genesis 31:1 claiming their father had been cheated by Jacob?
quote:
Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, Jacob has taken everything our father owned and has gained all this wealth from what belonged to our father. 2 And Jacob noticed that Laban’s attitude toward him was not what it had been.

Re: a test for honesty.
No 34 states that it be according to jacob's word which was in 32.
quote:
I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
—KJV
The rest of your point is moot. Then we have 30:40 which shows jacob still had them.
quote:
And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
—KJV

Re: Making stuff up.
The gods were stolen and jacob left. Laban thought jacob stole the gods which is why laban was upset. And OK laban has sons. Does not change anything as per 30:40. Point still stands in post 17 with exception to my comments on labans sons. Edited by Alias, : err Edited by Alias, : err Edited by Alias, : Clarity

Re: a test for honesty.
No 34 states that it be according to jacob's word which was in 32. Yes, and as the text makes clear, Laban removes the speckle animals before Jacob gets a chance to take his walk. Verses 35 and 36 make that abundantly clear. Laban did not keep to the spirit of his promise although arguably he did stick to the letter of it. By the way, did you notice that Laban actually did have sons?
The rest of your point is moot Meaning that you have no answer for those arguments. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

I feel it is corrupt but you have to sift through it to find important god inspired scriptures. What criteria are you using to sift the inspired scripture from the non-inspired scripture?
The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

-Attributed to Dawn Bertot Message 286 Does a query (thats a question Stile) that uses this physical reality, to look for an answer to its existence and properties become theoretical, considering its deductive conclusions are based against objective verifiable realities.

Re: a test for honesty.
No 35 is referring to jacob due to their agreement in 32. Ref to post 17 for my point on 36. In verse 40, if Laban removed the sparkled, spotted and streaked flock in 35 to cheat jacob, why does jacob have access to the sparkled, spotted and streaked flock of laban's?

Logic. In short, Jesus didn't walk on water. The red sea was not parted in the exodus. Stuff that is clear myth is myth. Revelation in other cases like genesis 1-2.
