Genesis 30:37-42

37Then JacobH3290 1tookH3947 freshH3892 rodsH4731 of poplarH3839 and almondH3869 and planeH6196 treesH6196, and peeledH6478 whiteH3836 stripesH6479 in them, exposingH4286 the whiteH3836 whichH834 was 2in the rodsH4731.

38He setH3322 the rodsH4731 whichH834 he had peeledH6478 in frontH5227 of the flocksH6629 in the guttersH7298, even in the wateringH4325 troughsH8268, whereH834 the flocksH6629 cameH935 to drinkH8354; and they 3matedH2552 when they cameH935 to drinkH8354.

39So the flocksH6629 4matedH2552 by the rodsH4731, and the flocksH6629 broughtH3205 forthH3205 stripedH6124, speckledH5348, and spottedH2921.

40JacobH3290 separatedH6504 the lambsH3775, and 5madeH5414 the flocksH6629 faceH6440 towardH413 the stripedH6124 and allH3605 the blackH2345 in the flockH6629 of LabanH3837; and he putH7896 his own herdsH5739 apartH905, and did not putH7896 them with Laban’sH3837 flockH6629.

41Moreover, wheneverH3605 the 6strongerH7194 of the flockH6629 7were matingH3179, JacobH3290 would placeH7760 the rodsH4731 in the sightH5869 of the flockH6629 in the guttersH7298, so that they might 8mateH3179 by the rodsH4731;

42but when the flockH6629 was feebleH5848, he did not putH7760 them in; so the feeblerH5848 were Laban’sH3837 and the 9strongerH7194 Jacob’sH3290.
