In context
36 then put he a journey of three days between himself and Jacob,—but, Jacob himself, continued tending the flocks of Laban that were left.
37 So then Jacob took him rods of young storax, and hazel and maple,—and peeled in them white stripes, laying bare the white which was on the rods.
38 And he set the rods which he had peeled, in the channels in the troughs of water,—where the flocks came in to drink straight before the flocks, and the females of the flock used to be in heat when they came in to drink;
39 and the males of the flock were in heat before the rods,—so the flocks brought forth ring-straked, speckled, and spotted.
40 The rams also, did Jacob separate, and then set the faces of the flocks towards the ring-straked and all the dark-coloured, among the flocks of Laban,—and he put his own droves by themselves, and put them not with the flocks of Laban.
41 So it came to pass whensoever the stronger of the flocks were in heat, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flocks in the channels,—that the females might be in heat among the rods;
42 but, when the flocks were late in bearing, he did not set them,—and so the late-born were Laban’s, but the strong ones Jacob’s.
