Genesis 30:37-42

37And JacobH3290 tookH3947 him rodsH4731 of freshH3892 poplarH3839, and of the almondH3869 and of the planeH6196 tree; and peeledH6478 whiteH3836 strakes in them, and madeH834 the whiteH3836 appear whichH834 was in the rodsH4731.

38And he setH935 the rodsH4731 whichH834 he had peeledH6478 over againstH935 the flocksH6629 in the gutters in the wateringH4325 troughsH8268 whereH834 the flocksH6629 cameH935 to drinkH8354; and they conceivedH3179 when they cameH935 to drinkH8354.

39And the flocksH6629 conceivedH3179 beforeH413 the rodsH4731, and the flocksH6629 broughtH3205 forthH3205 ringstraked, speckledH5348, and spottedH2921.

40And JacobH3290 separatedH6504 the lambsH3775, and setH5414 the facesH6440 of the flocksH6629 towardH413 the ringstraked and allH3605 the blackH2345 in the flockH6629 of LabanH3837; and he putH5414 his ownH6440 drovesH5739 apartH905, and putH5414 them notH3808 unto Laban’s flockH6629.

41And it cameH1961 to passH1961, whensoever the strongerH7194 of the flockH6629 did conceive, that JacobH3290 laidH7760 the rodsH4731 beforeH5869 the eyesH5869 of the flockH6629 in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rodsH4731;

42but when the flockH6629 were feeble, he putH7760 them notH3808 in: soH1961 the feebler were Laban’s, and the strongerH7194 Jacob’sH3290.
