Genesis 30:35-37

International Standard Version

³⁵ That very day, Laban^[a] removed the male goats that were striped or spotted, all the female goats that were speckled or spotted—that is, every one that had white on them—and all the black lambs and placed them into the care^[b] of his sons. ³⁶ He sent them as far away from Jacob as a three days’ journey could take them.

Meanwhile, Jacob kept tending the rest of Laban’s flock. ³⁷ Jacob took branches^[c] from white poplar trees, freshly cut almond trees, and some other trees,^[d] stripped off their bark to make white streaks, and uncovered the white part inside the branches.
