For out of that well they watered the flocks . And the stone upon the well 's mouth was great . asv @Genesis:29:3 @And thither were all the flocks gathered . And they rolled the stone from the well 's mouth , and watered the sheep , and put the stone again upon the well 's mouth in its place . asv @Genesis:29:4 @And Jacob said unto them , My brethren , whence are ye ?

And , behold , Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep . asv @Genesis:29:7 @And he said , Lo , it is yet high day , neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together .

And he abode with him the space of a month . asv @Genesis:29:15 @And Laban said unto Jacob , Because thou art my brother , shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought ?

And Jacob said , Thou shalt not give me aught : if thou wilt do this thing for me , I will again feed thy flock and keep it . asv @Genesis:30:32 @I will pass through all thy flock to-day , removing from thence every speckled and spotted one , and every black one among the sheep , and the spotted and speckled among the goats : and of such shall be my hire . asv @Genesis:30:33 @So shall my righteousness answer for me hereafter , when thou shalt come concerning my hire that is before thee : every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats , and black among the sheep , that if found with me , shall be counted stolen . asv @Genesis:30:34 @And Laban said , Behold , I would it might be according to thy word . asv @Genesis:30:35 @And he removed that day the he-goats that were ringstreaked and spotted , and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted , every one that had white in it , and all the black ones among the sheep , and gave them into the hand of his sons ; asv @Genesis:30:36 @and he set three days ' journey betwixt himself and Jacob : and Jacob fed the rest of Laban 's flocks . asv @Genesis:30:37 @And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar , and of the almond and of the plane-tree . And peeled white streaks in them , and made the white appear which was in the rods . asv @Genesis:30:38 @And he set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink ; and they conceived when they came to drink . asv @Genesis:30:39 @And the flocks conceived before the rods , and the flocks brought forth ringstreaked , speckled , and spotted . asv @Genesis:30:40 @And Jacob separated the lambs , and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstreaked and all the black in the flock of Laban : and he put his own droves apart , and put them not unto Laban 's flock . asv @Genesis:30:41 @And it came to pass , whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive , that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters , that they might conceive among the rods ; asv @Genesis:30:42 @but when the flock were feeble , he put them not in : so the feebler were Laban 's , and the stronger Jacob 's . asv @Genesis:30:43 @And the man increased exceedingly , and had large flocks , and maid-servants and men-servants , and camels and asses . asv @Genesis:31:1 @And he heard the words of Laban 's sons , saying , Jacob hath taken away all that was our father 's ; and of that which was our father 's hath he gotten all this glory .
