Genesis 30:42-43

30:42 But if the animals were weaker, he did not set the branches there. ¹  So the weaker animals ended up belonging to Laban ²  and the stronger animals to Jacob. 30:43 In this way Jacob ³  became extremely prosperous. He owned ⁴  large flocks, male and female servants, camels, and donkeys.
