Genesis 30:41-43 ▼

41 Now it would be that, whenever the stronger of the flock were mating, Jacob would place the rods in the sight of the flock in the trough, so that they might mate by the rods;

42 but when the flock was feeble, he did not put them in; so the feebler were Laban’s and the stronger Jacob’s.

43 So the man spread out exceedingly and had large flocks and female and male servants and camels and donkeys.
