创世记 30
Chinese New Version (Simplified)

30 拉结见自己没有给雅各生孩子，就嫉妒她的姊姊，对雅各说：“你要给我儿子，不然，我要死了。” 2 雅各就向拉结生气，说：“使你不能生育的是　神，我能代替他吗？” 3 拉结说：“我的婢女辟拉在这里，你可以与她亲近，使她生子归我，我就可以从她得到孩子（“得到孩子”直译是“被建立”）。” 4 于是，拉结把自己的婢女辟拉给了雅各为妾，雅各就与她亲近。 5 辟拉怀孕，给雅各生了一个儿子。 6 拉结说：“　神为我伸了冤，也垂听了我的声音，赐给我一个儿子。”所以给他起名叫但。 7 拉结的使女辟拉又怀孕，给雅各生了第二个儿子。 8 拉结说：“我与姊姊大大地相争（“大大地相争”直译是“以　神的相争来相争”），我得胜了。”于是给孩子起名叫拿弗他利（“拿弗他利”的意思是“相争”）。

9 利亚见自己停止生育，就把她的婢女悉帕给了雅各为妾。 10 利亚的婢女悉帕给雅各生了一个儿子。 11 利亚说：“我真幸运。”给他起名叫迦得。 12 利亚的婢女悉帕又给雅各生了第二个儿子。 13 利亚说：“我真有福气，众女子都要称我是有福的。”于是给孩子起名叫亚设。

14 到了收割麦子的时候，流本出去，在田间找到了一些风茄，就拿来给他母亲利亚。拉结对利亚说：“请你把你儿子的风茄分一些给我。” 15 利亚回答拉结：“你夺去了我的丈夫，还算小事吗？你还要夺去我儿子的风茄吗？”拉结说：“好吧，今夜就让他与你同睡，来交换你儿子的风茄。” 16 到了晚上，雅各从田间回来，利亚出去迎接他，说：“你要与我亲近，因为我实在用我儿子的风茄把你雇下了。”那一夜，雅各就与利亚同睡。 17 　神垂听了利亚的祷告，利亚就怀孕，给雅各生了第五个儿子。 18 利亚说：“　神给了我酬报，因为我把我的婢女给了我的丈夫。”于是给孩子起名叫以萨迦。 19 利亚又怀孕，给雅各生了第六个儿子。 20 利亚说：“　神把美好的礼物送了给我，这一次我的丈夫要抬举我了，因为我给他生了六个儿子。”于是给孩子起名叫西布伦。 21 后来利亚又生了一个女儿，给她起名叫底拿。 22 　神顾念拉结，垂听了她的祷告，使她能生育。 23 拉结就怀孕，生了一个儿子，说：“　神把我的耻辱除去了。” 24 于是给孩子起名叫约瑟，说：“愿耶和华再给我一个儿子。”

雅各向拉班订定工价

25 拉结生了约瑟以后，雅各对拉班说：“请你让我走吧，我好回到自己的地方，自己的故乡去。 26 请你把我服事你所得的妻子和儿女都给我，让我回去；我怎样服事了你，你是知道的。” 27 拉班对他说：“我若蒙你赏脸，请你不要走，因为我得了神旨，知道耶和华赐福给我，是因你的缘故。” 28 他又说：“请你定你的工资吧，我必给你。” 29 雅各对拉班说：“我怎样服事了你，你的牲畜在我手里情形怎样，你是知道的。 30 我没来以前，你所有的很少，现在却大大地增加了；耶和华随着我的脚踪赐福给你。现在，我甚么时候才能兴家立业呢？” 31 拉班问：“我该给你甚么？”雅各回答：“你甚么也不必给我；只要你答应我这一件事，我就继续牧放看守你的羊群。 32 今天我要走遍你的羊群，凡有斑点的羊、黑色的绵羊和有斑点的山羊，都挑出来，作为我的工资。 33 日后你来查看我的工资的时候，我好对你证明我的公道。凡在我手里没有斑点的山羊，或不是黑色的绵羊，都算是我偷来的。” 34 拉班回答：“好吧，就照你的话去作。” 35 当日，拉班把有条纹和有斑点的公山羊、有斑点和有白纹的母山羊，以及所有黑色的绵羊，都挑出来交在自己的众子手里。 36 又使自己和雅各之间相距有三天的路程。雅各就牧放拉班其余的羊群。

雅各使用诡计致富

37 雅各拿杨树、杏树和枫树的嫩枝子，把树皮剥成白色的条纹，使枝子露出白的部分来。 38 然后把剥了皮的枝子插在水沟和水槽里，枝子正对着来喝水的羊群。羊群来喝水的时候，就彼此交配。 39 羊群对着枝子交配，就生下有条纹和有斑点的小羊来。 40 雅各把羊羔分别出来，使拉班的羊，对着这些有条纹的和所有黑色的羊。他为自己另组羊群，不把牠们放在拉班的羊群中。 41 到了肥壮的羊群要交配的时候，雅各就在羊群的面前把枝子插在水沟里，使牠们在枝子中间彼此交配。 42 但当瘦弱的羊群交配的时候，雅各就不插枝子。这样，瘦弱的就归拉班，肥壮的就归雅各。 43 于是，雅各变得非常富有，拥有很多羊群、仆婢、骆驼和驴。

1 Moseboken 30
nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)

30 När Rakel förstod att hon inte kunde få några barn, blev hon avundsjuk på sin syster. ”Ge mig barn, annars dör jag!”, vädjade hon till Jakob. 2 Då blev Jakob arg och sa: ”Jag är väl inte Gud? Det är han som hindrat dig från att få barn.” 3 Då sa Rakel till honom: ”Ligg med min slavinna Bilha, så får hon föda barn åt mig[a].” 4 Hon gav honom alltså sin slavinna Bilha till bihustru[b]. Han låg med henne, 5 och hon blev med barn och födde honom en son. 6 Rakel sa: ”Gud har gett mig rättvisa, han har hört min bön och gett mig en son.” Hon gav därför honom namnet Dan.[c] 7 Rakels slavinna blev med barn igen och gav Jakob ytterligare en son. 8 Rakel sa: ”Jag har stridit Guds strider med min syster, och jag har vunnit.” Så gav hon pojken namnet Naftali.[d]

9 När Lea nu insåg att hon inte längre kunde bli med barn, gav hon sin slavinna Silpa till Jakob som bihustru, 10 och snart födde också Silpa honom en son. 11 Lea sa: ”Till lycka!” och gav honom namnet Gad.[e] 12 Sedan födde Silpa honom ytterligare en son, 13 och Lea sa: ”Jag är lycklig! De andra kvinnorna kommer att prisa mig lycklig.” Och hon gav pojken namnet Asher.[f]

14 En dag under veteskörden när Ruben var ute på fälten fann han några kärleksäpplen[g] som han tog med sig hem till sin mor Lea. Rakel bad då henne: ”Ge mig några av din sons kärleksäpplen!” 15 Men Lea svarade: ”Räcker det inte med att du har tagit min make ifrån mig? Nu vill du ha min sons kärleksäpplen också!”

Rakel sa: ”Han får ligga med dig i natt i utbyte mot kärleksäpplena.” 16 När Jakob kom hem från fälten den kvällen, gick Lea ut för att möta honom. ”Du måste komma till mig”, sa hon. ”Jag har nämligen gett min sons kärleksäpplen som betalning för dig.” Då låg han med henne den natten. 17 Och Gud svarade på Leas böner. Hon blev med barn igen och födde sin femte son åt Jakob. 18 Hon sa: ”Gud har belönat mig för att jag har gett min slavinna till min man.” Så gav hon honom namnet Isaskar.[h] 19 Sedan blev hon med barn igen och födde en sjätte son åt Jakob. 20 Då sa hon: ”Gud har gett mig en god gåva. Nu kommer min man att hedra mig för att jag har gett honom sex söner.” Och hon gav pojken namnet Sebulon.[i] 21 Senare födde hon också en dotter som hon gav namnet Dina.

22 Då kom Gud ihåg Rakel och hörde hennes böner och gjorde henne fruktsam. 23 Hon blev med barn och födde en son. ”Gud har tagit bort min skam”, sa hon. 24 Hon gav sonen namnet Josef[j], för hon sa: ”Må Herren ge mig ytterligare en son.”

Jakob blir en rik man

25 Efter att Rakel fött Josef, sa Jakob till Laban: ”Låt mig resa tillbaka hem till mitt land! 26 Låt mig ta med mig mina hustrur och mina barn som jag har arbetat hos dig för och resa min väg. Nog har jag väl arbetat tillräckligt för dig nu!”

27 Laban sa till honom: ”Visa mig välvilja och stanna! Jag har förstått genom spåtecken att Herren har välsignat mig för din skull. 28 Hur mycket vill du ha som lön? Jag tänker betala vad du än begär.” 29 Jakob svarade: ”Du vet hur troget jag har tjänat dig under alla dessa år och hur din boskap har blivit i min vård. 30 Du hade inte mycket när jag kom, men din rikedom har blivit enorm. Herren har välsignat dig genom allt jag gör. När ska jag få en chans att skaffa något åt min egen familj?”

31 ”Vad ska jag ge dig?” frågade Laban igen. Jakob svarade: ”Du ska inte ge mig någonting, men om du gör som jag föreslår, ska jag fortsätta att vakta dina får och getter. 32 Låt mig gå ut bland dina hjordar i dag och välja ut alla brokiga, spräckliga och mörka djur bland fåren och dem som är spräckliga och brokiga bland getterna. Ge dem till mig som lön. 33 Så ska min hederlighet kunna testas i framtiden när du kommer för att se vad som blivit min lön: om det finns några getter i min hjord som inte är brokiga eller spräckliga eller får som inte är mörka, så ska de betraktas som stulna.”

34 ”Överenskommet!” svarade Laban. ”Vi gör som du säger!”

35 Redan samma dag samlade han ihop alla bockar som var strimmiga och brokiga, alla getter som var brokiga eller spräckliga, alla med vita fläckar och alla mörka bland fåren. Han överlämnade dem till sina söner. 36 Han höll tre dagsresors avstånd mellan sig själv och Jakob, medan Jakob vaktade resten av Labans hjord.

37 Jakob tog friska skott från poppel, mandel och platan och skalade av delar av barken, så det blev vita strimlor i den. 38 Han lade ut käpparna han skalat strimlor på vid vattenhoarna, så att djuren hade dem framför sig när de kom för att dricka. De parade sig när de kom för att dricka. 39 Hjordarna parade sig alltså framför käpparna, och deras avkomma blev brokig, spräcklig och strimmig.[k] 40 Jakob förde sedan undan ungdjuren i en egen hjord. De övriga djuren ställde han mot de strimmiga och mörka i Labans hjord. Så skaffade han sig egna hjordar som han inte blandade med Labans. 41 Varje gång de kraftiga tackorna skulle para sig, lade han fram de strimmiga grenarna i hoarna, så att de parade sig framför dem. 42 Men när de svaga djuren skulle para sig, lade han inte dit dem. Så fick Laban de svaga djuren och Jakob de starka. 43 Jakob blev mycket rik och hade stora flockar av småboskap, många slavar och slavinnor, kameler och åsnor.

Genesis 30
Easy-to-Read Version

30 Rachel saw that she was not giving Jacob any children. She became jealous of her sister Leah. So Rachel said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I will die!”

2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “I am not God. He is the one who has caused you to not have children.”

3 Then Rachel said, “You can have my maid Bilhah. Sleep with her, and she will have a child for me.[a] Then I can be a mother through her.”

4 So Rachel gave Bilhah to her husband Jacob. He had sexual relations with Bilhah. 5 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.

6 Rachel said, “God has listened to my prayer. He decided to give me a son.” So she named this son Dan.[b]

7 Bilhah became pregnant again and gave Jacob a second son. 8 Rachel said, “I have fought hard to compete with my sister, and I have won.” So she named that son Naphtali.[c]

9 Leah saw that she could have no more children. So she gave her slave girl Zilpah to Jacob. 10 Then Zilpah had a son. 11 Leah said, “I am lucky.” So she named the son Gad.[d] 12 Zilpah gave birth to another son. 13 Leah said, “I am very happy! Now women will call me happy.” So she named that son Asher.[e]

14 During the wheat harvest Reuben went into the fields and found some special flowers.[f] He brought them to his mother Leah. But Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s flowers.”

15 Leah answered, “You have already taken away my husband. Now you are trying to take away my son’s flowers.”

But Rachel answered, “If you will give me your son’s flowers, you can sleep with Jacob tonight.”

16 Jacob came in from the fields that night. Leah saw him and went out to meet him. She said, “You will sleep with me tonight. I have paid for you with my son’s flowers.” So Jacob slept with Leah that night.

17 Then God allowed Leah to become pregnant again. She gave birth to a fifth son. 18 She said, “God has given me a reward because I gave my slave to my husband.” So she named her son Issachar.[g]

19 Leah became pregnant again and gave birth to a sixth son. 20 She said, “God has given me a fine gift. Now surely Jacob will accept me, because I have given him six sons.” So she named this son Zebulun.[h]

21 Later, Leah gave birth to a daughter. She named her Dinah.

22 Then God heard Rachel’s prayer and made it possible for Rachel to have children. 23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has taken away my shame.” 24 Rachel named the son Joseph,[i] saying, “May the Lord give me another son.”

Jacob Tricks Laban

25 After the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Now let me go back to my own homeland. 26 Give me my wives and my children. I have earned them by working for you. You know that I served you well.”

27 Laban said to him, “Please, let me say something. I know[j] that the Lord has blessed me because of you. 28 Tell me what I should pay you, and I will give it to you.”

29 Jacob answered, “You know that I have worked hard for you. Your flocks have grown and been well while I cared for them. 30 When I came, you had little. Now you have much, much more. Every time I did something for you, the Lord blessed you. Now it is time for me to work for myself—it is time to do things for my family.”

31 Laban asked, “Then what should I give you?”

Jacob answered, “I don’t want you to give me anything! I only want you to let me do this one thing: I will go back and take care of your sheep. 32 But let me go through all your flocks today and take every lamb with spots or stripes. Let me take every black young goat and every female goat with stripes or spots. That will be my pay. 33 In the future you can easily see if I am honest. You can come to look at my flocks. If I have any goat that isn’t spotted or any sheep that isn’t black, you will know that I stole it.”

34 Laban answered, “I agree to that. We will do what you ask.” 35 But that day Laban hid all the male goats that had spots. And he hid all the female goats that had spots on them. He also hid all the black sheep. Laban told his sons to watch these sheep. 36 So the sons took all the spotted animals and led them to another place. They traveled for three days. Jacob stayed and took care of all the animals that were left.

37 Then Jacob cut green branches from poplar and almond trees. He stripped off some of the bark so that the branches had white stripes on them. 38 He put the branches in front of the flocks at the watering places. When the animals came to drink, they also mated in that place. 39 Then when the goats mated in front of the branches, the young that were born were spotted, striped, or black.

40 Jacob separated the spotted and the black animals from the other animals in the flock. He kept his animals separate from Laban’s. 41 Any time the stronger animals in the flock were mating, Jacob put the branches before their eyes. The animals mated near those branches. 42 But when the weaker animals mated, Jacob did not put the branches there. So the young animals born from the weak animals were Laban’s. And the young animals born from the stronger animals were Jacob’s. 43 In this way Jacob became very rich. He had large flocks, many servants, camels, and donkeys.

Genesis 30
New International Version

30 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children,(A) she became jealous of her sister.(B) So she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I’ll die!”

2 Jacob became angry with her and said, “Am I in the place of God,(C) who has kept you from having children?”(D)

3 Then she said, “Here is Bilhah,(E) my servant.(F) Sleep with her so that she can bear children for me and I too can build a family through her.”(G)

4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife.(H) Jacob slept with her,(I) 5 and she became pregnant and bore him a son. 6 Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me;(J) he has listened to my plea and given me a son.”(K) Because of this she named him Dan.[a](L)

7 Rachel’s servant Bilhah(M) conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. 8 Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle with my sister, and I have won.”(N) So she named him Naphtali.[b](O)

9 When Leah(P) saw that she had stopped having children,(Q) she took her servant Zilpah(R) and gave her to Jacob as a wife.(S) 10 Leah’s servant Zilpah(T) bore Jacob a son. 11 Then Leah said, “What good fortune!”[c] So she named him Gad.[d](U)

12 Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son. 13 Then Leah said, “How happy I am! The women will call me(V) happy.”(W) So she named him Asher.[e](X)

14 During wheat harvest,(Y) Reuben went out into the fields and found some mandrake plants,(Z) which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”

15 But she said to her, “Wasn’t it enough(AA) that you took away my husband? Will you take my son’s mandrakes too?”

“Very well,” Rachel said, “he can sleep with you tonight in return for your son’s mandrakes.”(AB)

16 So when Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. “You must sleep with me,” she said. “I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.”(AC) So he slept with her that night.

17 God listened to Leah,(AD) and she became pregnant and bore Jacob a fifth son. 18 Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband.”(AE) So she named him Issachar.[f](AF)

19 Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son. 20 Then Leah said, “God has presented me with a precious gift. This time my husband will treat me with honor,(AG) because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.[g](AH)

21 Some time later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.(AI)

22 Then God remembered Rachel;(AJ) he listened to her(AK) and enabled her to conceive.(AL) 23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son(AM) and said, “God has taken away my disgrace.”(AN) 24 She named him Joseph,[h](AO) and said, “May the Lord add to me another son.”(AP)

Jacob’s Flocks Increase

25 After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way(AQ) so I can go back to my own homeland.(AR) 26 Give me my wives and children, for whom I have served you,(AS) and I will be on my way. You know how much work I’ve done for you.”

27 But Laban said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes,(AT) please stay. I have learned by divination(AU) that the Lord has blessed me because of you.”(AV) 28 He added, “Name your wages,(AW) and I will pay them.”

29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have worked for you(AX) and how your livestock has fared under my care.(AY) 30 The little you had before I came has increased greatly, and the Lord has blessed you wherever I have been.(AZ) But now, when may I do something for my own household?(BA)”

31 “What shall I give you?” he asked.

“Don’t give me anything,” Jacob replied. “But if you will do this one thing for me, I will go on tending your flocks and watching over them: 32 Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb and every spotted or speckled goat.(BB) They will be my wages.(BC) 33 And my honesty will testify for me in the future, whenever you check on the wages you have paid me. Any goat in my possession that is not speckled or spotted, or any lamb that is not dark-colored,(BD) will be considered stolen.(BE)”

34 “Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.” 35 That same day he removed all the male goats that were streaked or spotted, and all the speckled or spotted female goats (all that had white on them) and all the dark-colored lambs,(BF) and he placed them in the care of his sons.(BG) 36 Then he put a three-day journey(BH) between himself and Jacob, while Jacob continued to tend the rest of Laban’s flocks.

37 Jacob, however, took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond(BI) and plane trees(BJ) and made white stripes on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the branches.(BK) 38 Then he placed the peeled branches(BL) in all the watering troughs,(BM) so that they would be directly in front of the flocks when they came to drink. When the flocks were in heat(BN) and came to drink, 39 they mated in front of the branches.(BO) And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.(BP) 40 Jacob set apart the young of the flock by themselves, but made the rest face the streaked and dark-colored animals(BQ) that belonged to Laban. Thus he made separate flocks for himself and did not put them with Laban’s animals. 41 Whenever the stronger females were in heat,(BR) Jacob would place the branches in the troughs in front of the animals so they would mate near the branches,(BS) 42 but if the animals were weak, he would not place them there. So the weak animals went to Laban and the strong ones to Jacob.(BT) 43 In this way the man grew exceedingly prosperous and came to own large flocks, and female and male servants, and camels and donkeys.(BU)

Genesis 30
King James Version

30 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.

2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?

3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.

4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.

5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.

6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.

7 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.

8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.

9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.

10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.

11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.

12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.

13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.

14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.

15 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.

16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.

17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.

18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.

19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.

20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.

21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.

23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:

24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The Lord shall add to me another son.

25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.

26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.

27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake.

28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.

29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.

30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?

31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock.

32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.

33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.

34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.

35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.

37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.

38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.

39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.

40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.

41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.

42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.

43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
