Genesis 30:37-39

« Gen 29Gen 30Gen 31 »

37 Then Jacob ¹took fresh rods of poplar and almond and plane trees, and he peeled white stripes in them, exposing the white which was ²in the rods. 38 And he set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the trough, that is, in the watering channels, where the flocks came to drink; and they ¹mated when they came to drink. 39 So the flocks ¹mated by the rods, and the flocks brought forth striped, speckled, and spotted.
