Genesis 30:35-37

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁵ And he separated the same day the she goats, and the sheep, and the he goats, and the rams of divers colours, and spotted: and all the flock of one colour, that is, of white and black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons.

³⁶ And he set the space of three days' journey betwixt himself and his son in law, who fed the rest of his flock.

³⁷ And Jacob took green rods of poplar, and of almond, and of plane trees, and pilled them in part: so when the bark was taken off, in the parts that were pilled, there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole remained green: and by this means the colour was divers.
