Genesis 30:39-41
1599 Geneva Bible
39 And the sheep [a]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 [b]stronger sheep, Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the sheep in the gutters, that they might conceive before the rods.
