But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were Jacob's.
And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.
So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses.
And he said, See how all the he-goats are banded and marked and coloured: for I have seen what Laban has done to you.
