Usage: The word בָּרֹד (barod) is used in the context of describing the appearance of animals, particularly livestock, that have a spotted or speckled coat. Context: • The term בָּרֹד (barod) appears in the Hebrew Bible in the context of Jacob's dealings with Laban, specifically in Genesis 31:10. In this passage, Jacob recounts a dream in which he saw male goats mating with the flock, and they were "spotted, speckled, and mottled." This vision was significant for Jacob as it related to the agreement he had with Laban regarding the division of the flocks based on their appearance. The spotted animals were part of the divine provision and blessing for Jacob, as God ensured that the flocks would produce offspring that matched the terms favorable to Jacob.
