Legacy Standard Bible

³⁶ And he put a distance of three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob was pasturing the rest of Laban’s flocks.

³⁷ Then Jacob ^[a]took fresh rods of poplar and almond and plane trees, and he peeled white stripes in them, exposing the white which was ^[b]in the rods. ³⁸ And he set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the trough, that is, in the watering channels, where the flocks came to drink; and they ^[c]mated when they came to drink.
