Génesis 30:37-43

Listen to Génesis 30:37-43
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.
41 Y sucedĂ­a que cuantas veces se calentaban las tempranas, Jacob ponĂ­a las varas delante de las ovejas en las pilas, para que concibiesen delante de las varas.
42 Y cuando venían las ovejas tardías, no las ponía; así eran las tardías para Labán, y las tempranas para Jacob.
43 Y se multiplicĂł el varĂłn muchĂ­simo, y tuvo muchas ovejas, y siervas y siervos, y camellos y asnos.

Génesis 30:37-43 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 30

This chapter gives an account of Rachel's envy of her sister for her fruitfulness, and of her earnest desire of having children, which she expressed to Jacob in an unbecoming manner, for which he reproved her, Ge 30:1,2, of her giving her maid Bilhah to Jacob, by whom he had two sons, Dan and Naphtali, Ge 30:3-8; and of Leah's giving her maid Zilpah to him, by whom he had two other sons, Gad and Asher, Ge 30:9-13; and of Reuben's mandrakes he found in the field, and the agreement made between Rachel and Leah about them, Ge 30:14-16; and of Leah's bearing Jacob two more sons and one daughter, Ge 30:17-21, and of Rachel's also bearing him a son, whose name was Joseph, Ge 30:22-24; upon which he desires leave of Laban to depart into his own country, his time of servitude being up, Ge 30:25,26; which brought on a new agreement between him and Laban, that for the future he should have all the speckled, spotted, and brown cattle for his service, Ge 30:27-36; and the chapter is concluded with an account of a cunning scheme of Jacob's to increase that sort of cattle, which succeeded, and by which he became rich, Ge 30:37-43.
