35So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons;
36And sent them three days' journey away: and Jacob took care of the rest of Laban's flock.
37Then Jacob took young branches of trees, cutting off the skin so that the white wood was seen in bands.
38And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water.
39And because of this, the flock gave birth to young which were marked with bands of colour.
40These lambs Jacob kept separate; and he put his flock in a place by themselves and not with Laban's flock.
