Bereshis 30:38-40

Orthodox Jewish Bible

³⁸ And he set the maklot which he had peeled before the flocks in the small channels of the shikatot mayim (watering troughs) when the tzon came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink,

³⁹ And the flocks bred before the maklot, and brought forth tzon streaked, speckled, and spotted.

⁴⁰ And Ya’akov did separate the kesavim, and set the faces of the tzon toward the streaked, and all the dark in the tzon Lavan; and he put his own adarim (flocks) by themselves, and put them not unto the tzon Lavan.
