This lexical entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term בָּרֹד (barod), its biblical context, and its thematic significance within the narrative of Jacob and Laban.

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.
• The use of בָּרֹד (barod) in this narrative highlights the theme of divine intervention and blessing, as well as the fulfillment of God's promises to Jacob. The spotted animals symbolize the unexpected and abundant provision that God grants to those who are faithful to Him.
