Jacob's Prosperity

36 And he put a distance of three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks. 37 Then Jacob took fresh rods of poplar and almond and plane trees, and peeled white stripes in them, exposing the white which was in the rods. 38 He set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the gutters, even in the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink; and they mated when they came to drink.
