and he put his own droves apart, and didn't put them
into Laban's flock.
030:041 It happened, whenever the stronger of the flock conceived,
that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock
in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;
030:042 but when the flock were feeble, he didn't put them in.
So the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
