32I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
אֶעֱבֹר בְּכָל־צֹאנְךָ הַיֹּום הָסֵר מִשָּׁם כָּל־שֶׂה ׀ נָקֹד וְטָלוּא וְכָל־שֶׂה־חוּם בַּכְּשָׂבִים וְטָלוּא וְנָקֹד בָּעִזִּים וְהָיָה שְׂכָרִי׃ (3439)
33So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
וְעָנְתָה־בִּי צִדְקָתִי בְּיֹום מָחָר כִּי־תָבֹוא עַל־שְׂכָרִי לְפָנֶיךָ כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־אֵינֶנּוּ נָקֹד וְטָלוּא בָּעִזִּים וְחוּם בַּכְּשָׂבִים גָּנוּב הוּא אִתִּי׃ (4633)

34And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
וַיֹּאמֶר לָבָן הֵן לוּ יְהִי כִדְבָרֶךָ׃ (701)
35And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
וַיָּסַר בַּיֹּום הַהוּא אֶת־הַתְּיָשִׁים הָעֲקֻדִּים וְהַטְּלֻאִים וְאֵת כָּל־הָעִזִּים הַנְּקֻדֹּות וְהַטְּלֻאֹת כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־לָבָן בֹּו וְכָל־חוּם בַּכְּשָׂבִים וַיִּתֵּן בְּיַד־בָּנָיו׃ (5127)
36And he set three days’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
וַיָּשֶׂם דֶּרֶךְ שְׁלֹשֶׁת יָמִים בֵּינֹו וּבֵין יַעֲקֹב וְיַעֲקֹב רֹעֶה אֶת־צֹאן לָבָן הַנֹּותָרֹת׃ (4176)

37And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
וַיִּקַּח־לֹו יַעֲקֹב מַקַּל לִבְנֶה לַח וְלוּז וְעֶרְמֹון וַיְפַצֵּל בָּהֵן פְּצָלֹות לְבָנֹות מַחְשֹׂף הַלָּבָן אֲשֶׁר עַל־הַמַּקְלֹות׃ (4122)
38And 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.
וַיַּצֵּג אֶת־הַמַּקְלֹות אֲשֶׁר פִּצֵּל בָּרֳהָטִים בְּשִׁקֲתֹות הַמָּיִם אֲשֶׁר תָּבֹאןָ הַצֹּאן לִשְׁתֹּות לְנֹכַח הַצֹּאן וַיֵּחַמְנָה בְּבֹאָן לִשְׁתֹּות׃ (7161)
39And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
וַיֶּחֱמוּ הַצֹּאן אֶל־הַמַּקְלֹות וַתֵּלַדְןָ הַצֹּאן עֲקֻדִּים נְקֻדִּים וּטְלֻאִים׃ (1988)

40And 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.
וְהַכְּשָׂבִים הִפְרִיד יַעֲקֹב וַיִּתֵּן פְּנֵי הַצֹּאן אֶל־עָקֹד וְכָל־חוּם בְּצֹאן לָבָן וַיָּשֶׁת־לֹו עֲדָרִים לְבַדֹּו וְלֹא שָׁתָם עַל־צֹאן לָבָן׃ (4374)
41And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
וְהָיָה בְּכָל־יַחֵם הַצֹּאן הַמְקֻשָּׁרֹות וְשָׂם יַעֲקֹב אֶת־הַמַּקְלֹות לְעֵינֵי הַצֹּאן בָּרֳהָטִים לְיַחְמֵנָּה בַּמַּקְלֹות׃ (4146)
42But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
וּבְהַעֲטִיף הַצֹּאן לֹא יָשִׂים וְהָיָה הָעֲטֻפִים לְלָבָן וְהַקְּשֻׁרִים לְיַעֲקֹב׃ (1944)
43And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
וַיִּפְרֹץ הָאִישׁ מְאֹד מְאֹד וַיְהִי־לֹו צֹאן רַבֹּות וּשְׁפָחֹות וַעֲבָדִים וּגְמַלִּים וַחֲמֹרִים׃ (2973)
