Genesis 30:41-43
New English Translation
41 When the stronger females were in heat,[a] Jacob would set up the branches in the troughs in front of the flock, so they would mate near the branches. 42 But if the animals were weaker, he did not set the branches there.[b] So the weaker animals ended up belonging to Laban[c] and the stronger animals to Jacob. 43 In this way Jacob[d] became extremely prosperous. He owned[e] large flocks, male and female servants, camels, and donkeys.
