Genesis 30 📜 📕 ↷
32 Go round above all the flocks, and separate all the sheep of diverse colours, of speckled fleece: and what-soever shall be russet and spotted, and of diverse colours, as well in the sheep as in the goats, shall be my wages.📜💬📚
33 And my justice shall answer for me tomorrow before thee, when the time of the bargain shall come: and all that shall not be of diverse colours, and spotted, and russet, as well in the sheep as in the goats, shall accuse me of theft.📜💬📚
34 And Laban said: I like well that thou demandest.📜💬📚
35 And he separated the same day the she goats, and the sheep, and the he goats, and the rams of diverse colours, and spotted: and all the flock of one colour, that is of white and black fleece, he delivered in the hand of his sons.📜💬📚
36 And he put a space of three days' journey betwixt him and his son in law, who fed the rest of his flock.📜💬📚
37 Jacob therefore taking green rods of the poplar, and of the almond, and of the plane-trees, in part pilled them: and when the barks were taken off, in the parts that were pilled there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole remained green: and by this means the colour was made diverse.📜💬📚
38 And he put them in the troughs, where the water was poured out: that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them conceive.📜💬📚
39 And it came to pass that in the very heat of the ramming, the sheep beheld the rods, and brought forth spotted, and of diverse colours, and speckled.📜💬📚
40 And Jacob divided the flock, and put the rods in the troughs before the eyes of the rams: and all the white and the black were Laban's, and the rest, Jacob's, when the flocks were separated one from the other.📜💬📚
