Genesis 30:37-39

Darby Translation

³⁷ And Jacob took fresh rods of white poplar, almond-tree, and maple; and peeled off white stripes in them, uncovering the white which was on the rods.

³⁸ And he set the rods which he had peeled before the flock, in the troughs at the watering-places where the flock came to drink, and they were ardent when they came to drink.

³⁹ And the flock was ardent before the rods; and the flock brought forth ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
