Και ελαβεν εις εαυτον ο Ιακωβ ραβδους χλωρας εκ λευκης και καρυας και πλατανου και εξελεπισεν αυτας κατα λεπισματα λευκα, ωστε εφαινετο το λευκον το εις τας ραβδους·

And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
