Kejadian 30:39
Konteks30:39 When the sheep mated 1 in front of the branches, they 2 gave birth to young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
Kejadian 30:41
Konteks30:41 When the stronger females were in heat, 3 Jacob would set up the branches in the troughs in front of the flock, so they would mate near the branches.
[30:39] 1 tn The Hebrew verb used here can mean “to be in heat” (see v. 38) or “to mate; to conceive; to become pregnant.” The latter nuance makes better sense in this verse, for the next clause describes them giving birth.
[30:39] 2 tn Heb “the sheep.” The noun has been replaced by the pronoun (“they”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
