SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:12
Y él dijo: Alza ahora tus ojos, y verás todos los machos que suben sobre las ovejas cinchados, pintados y abigarrados; porque yo he visto todo lo que Labán te ha hecho.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 31:12
Verse 12. Grisled] µydrb beruddim; drb barad signifies hail, and the meaning must be, they had white spots on them similar to hail. Our word grisled comes from the old French, gresl, hail, now written gràle; hence greslÇ, grisled, spotted with white upon a dark ground.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-21 - The affairs of these families are related very minutely, while (what are called) the great events of states and kingdoms at that period, ar not mentioned. The Bible teaches people the common duties of life, ho to serve God, how to enjoy the blessings he bestows, and to do good in the various stations and duties of life. Selfish men conside themselves robbed of all that goes past them, and covetousness wil even swallow up natural affection. Men's overvaluing worldly wealth in that error which is the root of covetousness, envy, and all evil. The men of the world stand in each other's way, and every one seems to be taking away from the rest; hence discontent, envy, and discord. But there are possessions that will suffice for all; happy they who see them in the first place. In all our removals we should have respect to the command and promise of God. If He be with us, we need not fear. The perils which surround us are so many, that nothing else can reall encourage our hearts. To remember favoured seasons of communion with God, is very refreshing when in difficulties; and we should ofte recollect our vows, that we fail not to fulfil them.
