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;

And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.

Και καθ' ον καιρον τα πρωιμα προβατα ηρχοντο εις συλληψιν, ο Ιακωβ εθετε τας ραβδους εις τα αυλακια εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων του ποιμνιου, δια να συλλαμβανωσι βλεποντα προς τας ραβδους·

And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
