Moreover, wheneverthe strongerof the flockwere mating,Jacobwould placethe rodsin the sightof the flockin the gutters,so that they might mateby the rods;
He setthe rodswhichhe had peeledin frontof the flocksin the gutters,[even] in the wateringtroughs,wherethe flockscameto drink;and they matedwhen they cameto drink.
Jacobseparatedthe lambs,and madethe flocksfacetowardthe stripedand allthe blackin the flockof Laban;and he puthis own herdsapart,and did not putthem with Laban'sflock.
but when the flockwas feeble,he did not put[them] in; so the feeblerwere Laban'sand the strongerJacob's.
