33. and my righteousness hath answered for me in the day to come, when it cometh in for my hire before thy face; --every one which is not speckled and spotted among [my] goats, and brown among [my] lambs--it is stolen with me.'
34. And Laban saith, `Lo, O that it were according to thy word;'
35. and he turneth aside during that day the ring-streaked and the spotted he-goats, and all the speckled and the spotted she-goats, every one that [hath] white in it, and every brown one among the lambs, and he giveth into the hand of his sons,
36. and setteth a journey of three days between himself and Jacob; and Jacob is feeding the rest of the flock of Laban.
37. And Jacob taketh to himself a rod of fresh poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut, and doth peel in them white peelings, making bare the white that [is] on the rods,
38. and setteth up the rods which he hath peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs (when the flock cometh in to drink), over-against the flock, that they may conceive in their coming in to drink;
39. and the flocks conceive at the rods, and the flock beareth ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted ones.
40. And the lambs hath Jacob parted, and he putteth the face of the flock towards the ring-streaked, also all the brown in the flock of Laban, and he setteth his own droves by themselves, and hath not set them near Laban's flock.
