Genesis 30:40 Context
38And he set the rods which he had pilled, before the flockes in the gutters in the watering troughes when the flocks came to drinke, that they should conceiue when they came to drinke. 39And the flockes conceiued before the rods, and brought forth cattell ringstraked, speckled and spotted. 40And Iacob did separate the lambes, and set the faces of the flockes toward the ring-straked, and all the browne in the flocke of Laban: and he put his owne flocks by themselues, and put them not vnto Labans cattell. 41And it came to passe whensoeuer the stronger cattell did conceiue, that Iacob layd the rods before the eyes of the cattell in the gutters, that they might conceiue among the rods. 42But when the cattel were feeble, hee put them not in: so the feebler were Labans, and the stronger Iacobs.
