Génesis 30:38 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 30:38

And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks,
&c.] Opposite them, in the view of them: in the gutters in the watering troughs, when the flocks came to
drink;
that is, in places of water, where troughs or vessels were made, into which the water ran convenient for the cattle to drink out of; and here he placed his party coloured rods right over against the flocks: that they should conceive when they came to drink;
as it was most likely they should when they were together at the water, and had refreshed themselves with it; and being "heated" F17, as the word signifies, with a desire of copulation, might conceive in sight of the above rods; which were set to move upon their imagination at the time of their conception, in order to produce cattle of different colours; to which no doubt he was directed of God, and it had, through his blessing, the wished for success, as follows:

Génesis 30:38 In-Context

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.
38 Y colocó las varas que había descortezado delante de los rebaños, en los canales, en los abrevaderos, donde los rebaños venían a beber; y se apareaban cuando venían a beber.
39 Así se apareaban los rebaños junto a las varas; y los rebaños tenían crías rayadas, moteadas y manchadas.
40 Y Jacob apartó los corderos, y puso los rebaños en dirección a lo rayado y a todo lo negro en el rebaño de Labán, y puso su propio hato aparte; no lo puso con el rebaño de Labán.
