39 And the flocks conceived before the rods and brought forth ringstraked, speckled, and spotted sheep.
40 And Jacob separated the lambs, and put with his flock the ringstraked and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves and did not put them together with Laban’s sheep.
41 And it came to pass, whenever the stronger sheep conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the sheep in the gutters that they might conceive among the rods.
42 But when the sheep were feeble, he did not put them in; so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had many sheep, and maidslaves and menslaves, and camels, and asses.
