and the males of the flock were in heat before the rods, - so the flocks brought forth ring-straked, speckled, and spotted.

So it came to pass whensoever the stronger of the flocks were in heat, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flocks in the channels, - that the females might be in heat among the rods;

Now, therefore, come on! Let us solemnise a covenant, I and thou, - So shall it be a witness betwixt me and thee.

So Jacob took a stone, - and set it up as a pillar.

and Jacob offered sacrifice in the mountain, and called on his brethren to eat bread. So they did eat bread, and tarried the night in the mountain.

And Jacob said, when he saw them, the camp of God, is this! So he called the name of that place, Mahanaim.
