    38He placed the peeled branches in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, so they would mate when they came to drink.

    39And the flocks mated in front of the branches, and they gave birth to young that were streaked, speckled, or spotted.

    40Jacob separated the lambs and made the rest of the flock face the streaked and the dark-colored animals that belonged to Laban. Then he kept his own flocks separate and did not put them with Laban's flock.

    41Whenever the stronger females were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks so they would mate near the branches.

    42But if the animals were weak, he would not place the branches there. So the weaker animals went to Laban, and the stronger ones to Jacob.
