Genesis 30: 35-44
(Geneva Bible)
Therefore ^[u]he took out the same day the he goats that were parti-colored and with great spots,
and all the she goats with little and great spots, and all that had white in them,
and all the ^[v]black among the sheep, and put them in the keeping of his sons.
³⁶ And he set three days journey between himself and Jacob. And Jacob kept the rest of Laban’s sheep.
³⁷ ¶ Then Jacob ^[w]took rods of green poplar, and of hazel, and of the chestnut tree,
and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear in the rods.
³⁸ Then he put the rods, which he had pilled, in the gutters and watering troughs,
when the sheep came to drink, before the sheep: (for they were in heat, when they came to drink.)
³⁹ And the sheep ^[x]were in heat before the rods, and afterward brought forth young of parti-color,
and with small and great spots.
⁴⁰ And Jacob parted these lambs, and turned the faces of the flock towards those lambs parti-colored,
and all manner of black, among the sheep of Laban: so he put his own flock by themselves,
and put them not with Laban’s flock.
⁴¹ And in every ramming time of the ^[y]stronger sheep,
Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the sheep in the gutters, that they might conceive before the rods.
⁴² But when the sheep were feeble, he put them not in: and so the feebler were Laban’s,
and the stronger Jacob’s.
⁴³ So the man increased exceedingly, and had many flocks, and maid servants,
and men servants, and camels, and asses.

[u]Therefore he took out : Or, Laban.
[v]black among the sheep: Or, red or brown. (blemished/unwanted)
[w]Then Jacob took rods of green poplar: Jacob herein used no deceit: for it was God’s commandment as he declareth in Gen. 31:9, 11.
[x]the sheep were in heat before the rods: Or, received.
[y]the stronger sheep: As they which took the ram about September and brought forth about March: so the feebler in March, and lamb in September.

hope you have a great day!
