Context
30:40 Jacob removed these lambs , but he made the rest of the flock face the streaked and completely dark-colored animals in Laban’s flock . So he made separate flocks for himself and did not mix them with Laban’s flocks .
30:41 When the stronger females were in heat , Jacob would set up the branches in the troughs in front of the flock , so they would mate near the branches .
30:42 But if the animals were weaker , he did not set the branches there. So the weaker animals ended up belonging to Laban and the stronger animals to Jacob .
30:43 In this way Jacob became extremely prosperous . He owned large flocks , male and female servants , camels , and donkeys .
