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 tres días de camino entre sí y Jacob; y Jacob apacentaba las otras ovejas de Labán.
37 Luego tomó Jacob varas de álamo verdes, y de almendro, y de castaño, y descortezó en ellas mondaduras blancas, descubriendo así lo blanco de las varas.
38 Y puso las varas que habĂ­a mondado en las pilas, en los abrevaderos del agua donde las ovejas venĂ­an a beber, delante de las ovejas, las cuales se calentaban viniendo a beber.
39 Y concebĂ­an las ovejas delante de las varas, y parĂ­an borregos cinchados, pintados y manchados.
40 Y apartaba Jacob los corderos, y los ponía con su rebaño, los cinchados, y todo lo que era bermejo en el hato de Labán. Y ponía su hato aparte, y no lo ponía con las ovejas de Labán.
