Bereshis 30:41-43

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁴¹ And it came to pass, whensoever tzon hamekusharot (the stronger flock) did breed, that Ya’akov set the maklot before the eyes of the tzon in the trough channels, that they might breed among the maklot.

⁴² But when the tzon were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler would belong to Lavan, and the stronger to Ya’akov.

⁴³ And the ish increased exceedingly, and had much tzon, and shefachot, and avadim, and gemalim, and chamorim.
