Genesis 30:36-38

New American Standard Bible 1995

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

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