Genesis 30:39

---

← Genesis 30:38	Genesis 30:39 (KJV)	Genesis 30:40 →
And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.	And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.	And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
