Answer 1

Shylock tries to defend the charging of interest by referring to a Biblical story in the Old Testament. ... When the sheep were born, the many that were spotted, went to Jacob, according to Shylock, because of the steps Jacob had guaranteed to be successful. Shylock uses Jacob-Laban story to suggest how a little bit of trick can put one financially secured. He relates the story when Jacob went to work for Laban, an agreement was made between them that Jacob would receive for his services the lambs which were born with spot or stripes.
