SEV Biblia, Chapter 30:32
Yo pasaré hoy por todas tus ovejas, poniendo aparte toda oveja pintada y manchada, y todo carnero bermejo entre los carneros, y lo pintado y manchado entre las cabras; y esto será mi salario.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 30:32
Verse 32. I will pass through all thy flock] ax tson, implying, as we have before seen, all smaller cattle, such as sheep, goats, &c. All the speckled and spotted cattle] h seh, which we translate cattle, signifies the young either of sheep or goats, what we call a lamb or a kid.Speckled, dqn nakod, signifies interspersed with variously coloured spots.
Spotted] awlf talu, spotted with large spot either of the same or different colours, from alf tala, to patch, to make party-coloured or patch-work; see Ezek. xvi. 16. I have never seen such sheep as are here described but in the islands of Zetland. There I have seen the most beautiful brown, or fine chocolate colour among the sheep; and several of the ring- streaked, spotted, speckled, and piebald among the same; and some of the latter description I have brought over, and can exhibit a specimen of Jacob's flock brought from the North Seas, feeding in Middlesex.
And all the brown] µwj chum. I should rather suppose this to signify a lively brown, as the root signifies to be warm or hot.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 25-43 - The fourteen years being gone, Jacob was willing to depart without an provision, except God's promise. But he had in many ways a just claim on Laban's substance, and it was the will of God that he should be provided for from it. He referred his cause to God, rather than agre for stated wages with Laban, whose selfishness was very great. And it would appear that he acted honestly, when none but those of the colour fixed upon should be found among his cattle. Laban selfishly though that his cattle would produce few different in colour from their own Jacob's course after this agreement has been considered an instance of his policy and management. But it was done by intimation from God, an as a token of his power. The Lord will one way or another plead the cause of the oppressed, and honour those who simply trust his providence. Neither could Laban complain of Jacob, for he had nothin more than was freely agreed that he should have; nor was he injured but greatly benefitted by Jacob's services. May all our mercies be received with thanksgiving and prayer, that coming from his bounty they may lead to his praise __________________________________________________________________
