Génesis 30:35

35 Aquel mismo día apartó Labán los machos cabríos rayados o manchados y todas las cabras moteadas o manchadas, y todo lo que tenía algo de blanco, y de entre los corderos todos los negros, y lo puso todo al cuidado de sus hijos.

Génesis 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.

Génesis 30:35 In-Context

33 Mi honradez responderá por mí el día de mañana, cuando vengas a ver acerca de mi salario. Todo lo que no sea moteado y manchado entre las cabras, y negro entre los corderos, si es hallado conmigo, se considerará robado.

34 Y Labán dijo: Muy bien, sea conforme a tu palabra.

35 Aquel mismo día apartó Labán los machos cabríos rayados o manchados y todas las cabras moteadas o manchadas, y todo lo que tenía algo de blanco, y de entre los corderos todos los negros, y lo puso todo al cuidado de sus hijos.

36 Y puso una distancia de tres días de camino entre sí y Jacob; y Jacob apacentaba el resto de los rebaños de Labán.

37 Entonces Jacob tomó varas verdes de álamo, de almendro y de plátano, y les sacó tiras blancas de la corteza, descubriendo así lo blanco de las varas.
