"Yet when the late arrivals and the last to conceive were let in, he did not place these. And so those that arrived late became Laban’s, and those that arrived first became Jacob’s. "
— Genesis 30:42, Catholic Public Domain Version
“But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.”
“but when the flock were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s. ”
“but when the flock were feeble, he didn't put them in. So the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.”
“But if the animals were weaker, he did not set the branches there. So the weaker animals ended up belonging to Laban and the stronger animals to Jacob.”
“But when the later coming was, and the last conceiving, he did not put them. And those that were lateward, became Laban's; and they of the first time, Jacob's.”
“But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were Jacob's.”
“But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.”
And it happened that, in the very heat of joining together, the sheep looked upon the branches, and they bore the blemished and the variegated, those speckled with diverse color.
And Jacob divided the flock, and he set the branches in the troughs before the eyes of the rams. Now whatever was white or black belonged to Laban, but, in truth, the others belonged to Jacob, for the flocks were dispersed among one another.
Therefore, when the first to arrive were climbing on the ewes, Jacob placed the branches in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams and the sheep, so that they might conceive while they were gazing upon them.
Yet when the late arrivals and the last to conceive were let in, he did not place these. And so those that arrived late became Laban’s, and those that arrived first became Jacob’s.
And the man was enriched beyond limit, and he had many flocks, women servants and men servants, camels and donkeys.
