Gênesis 30:35

35 E separou naquele mesmo dia os bodes listrados e malhados e todas as cabras salpicadas e malhadas, tudo em que havia algum branco, e todos os escuros entre os cordeiros e os deu nas mãos de seus filhos;

Gênesis 30:35 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 30:35

And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked
and spotted
That had strakes of a different colour from the rest on their shoulders, thighs, logs, or feet, or in any part of the body: the word here used stands in the room of that before translated "speckled"; this Laban did, as the context shows; he went about it immediately at the motion of Jacob, with which he was pleased: and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted;
so that there might be neither male nor female of those mixed colours; this he did to prevent any generation of them: [and] everyone that had [some] white in it;
any white spot in it, as the Targum of Jonathan; that is, everyone of the brown or black colour, that had any white in it: and all the brown among the sheep:
that were entirely so: and, gave [them] into the hands of his sons;
not the sons of Jacob, as some in Aben Ezra; for they were not fit for the care of a flock, the eldest son, Reuben, not being seven years of age; but the sons of Laban, who were now grown up and fit for such service.

Gênesis 30:35 In-Context

33 De modo que responderá por mim a minha justiça no dia de amanhã, quando vieres ver o meu salário assim exposto diante de ti: tudo o que não for salpicado e malhado entre as cabras e escuro entre as ovelhas, esse, se for achado comigo, será tido por furtado.
34 Concordou Labão, dizendo: Seja conforme a tua palavra.
35 E separou naquele mesmo dia os bodes listrados e malhados e todas as cabras salpicadas e malhadas, tudo em que havia algum branco, e todos os escuros entre os cordeiros e os deu nas mãos de seus filhos;
36 e pôs três dias de caminho entre si e Jacó; e Jacó apascentava o restante dos rebanhos de Labão.
37 Então tomou Jacó varas verdes de estoraque, de amendoeira e de plátano e, descascando nelas riscas brancas, descobriu o branco que nelas havia;
