Genesis 30:34-40

34And LabanH3837 saidH559, Behold, I would it might beH1961 according to thy wordH1697. 35And he removedH5493 that dayH3117 the he-goats that were ringstreaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had whiteH3836 in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of his sonsH1121; 36and he setH7760 threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH1870 betwixt himself and JacobH3290: and JacobH3290 fed the rest of Laban’s flocksH6629.

37And JacobH3290 tookH3947 him rods of freshH3892 poplarH3839, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled whiteH3836 streaks in them, and made the whiteH3836 appear which was in the rods. 38And he set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocksH6629 in the gutters in the watering-troughs whereH834 the flocksH6629 cameH935 to drinkH8354; and they conceived whenH834 they cameH935 to drinkH8354. 39And the flocksH6629 conceived before the rods, and the flocksH6629 broughtH3205 forthH3205 ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted. 40And JacobH3290 separatedH6504 the lambsH3775, and setH5414 the facesH6440 of the flocksH6629 toward the ringstreaked and all the black in the flockH6629 of LabanH3837: and he putH5414 his own droves apartH905, and putH5414 them not unto Laban’s flockH6629.
