  • Gen 30:35-31:1 : 35 He removed that day the he-goats that were ringstraked and spotted, 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 hands of his sons. 36 He set three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks. 37 Jacob took rods of green poplar, hazel, and chestnut tree, peeled white stripes in them, and made the white appear in the rods. 38 He set the rods which he had peeled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. 39 The flocks conceived before the rods and brought forth ringstraked, speckled, and spotted cattle. 40 Jacob separated the lambs and set the faces of the flocks towards the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban. He put his own flocks by themselves and did not put them with Laban's cattle. 41 Whenever the stronger cattle conceived, Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, so they might conceive among the rods. 42 But when the cattle were feeble, he did not put them in. Thus, the feebler were Laban's and the stronger Jacob's. 43 The man increased exceedingly and had much cattle, maidservants, menservants, camels, and donkeys. 1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's; and from that which was our father's, he has gained all this wealth.
