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 Después de eso, puso una distancia de tres días de viaje entre él y Jacob. Mientras tanto, Jacob seguía cuidando las otras ovejas de Labán.
37 Jacob cortó ramas verdes de álamo, de almendro y de plátano, y las peló de tal manera que quedaran franjas blancas al descubierto.
38 Luego tomó las ramas que había pelado, y las puso en todos los abrevaderos para que el rebaño las tuviera enfrente cuando se acercara a beber agua. Cuando las ovejas estaban en celo y llegaban a los abrevaderos,
39 los machos se unĂ­an con las hembras frente a las ramas, y asĂ­ tenĂ­an crĂ­as rayadas, moteadas o manchadas.
40 Entonces Jacob apartaba estos corderos y los ponía frente a los animales rayados y negros del rebaño de Labán. De esta manera logró crear su propio rebaño, diferente al de Labán.
