TSNTyndale Study Notes:

30:37-43 God blessed Jacob despite Laban’s duplicity. Not to be outwitted, Jacob used selective breeding to acquire a flock, following the traditional belief that peeled sticks influenced the kind of animal that would be born. The peeled branches seemingly made his animals produce streaked and spotted young; Jacob later acknowledged that God had prospered him (31:7-12). Jacob gained stronger animals for himself and weaker ones for Laban (30:41-42).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יַּצֵּ֗ג אֶת הַ⁠מַּקְלוֹת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר פִּצֵּ֔ל בָּ⁠רֳהָטִ֖ים בְּ⁠שִֽׁקֲת֣וֹת הַ⁠מָּ֑יִם

and,set DOM the,branches which/who peeled in/on/at/with,troughs in/on/at/with,channels the=waters

See how you translated “trough” in Gen 24:20. Alternate translation: “Then he set those striped branches in all the stone drinking tubs”

אֲשֶׁר֩ תָּבֹ֨אןָ הַ⁠צֹּ֤אן לִ⁠שְׁתּוֹת֙

which/who came the,flocks to,drink

The way you translate this should allow for the fact that the animals came to the watering troughs repeatedly or regularly throughout the day, not just one time.

לְ⁠נֹ֣כַח הַ⁠צֹּ֔אן

in,front_of the,flocks

Alternate translation: “in front of them.” or “so that the flocks would see the branches there.”

וַ⁠יֵּחַ֖מְנָה בְּ⁠בֹאָ֥⁠ן לִ⁠שְׁתּֽוֹת

and,bred in/on/at/with,came,they to,drink

The way you translate this clause will determine whether you begin the next verse with a conjunction (“and” or “so”) or without a conjunction. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “The flocks often mated when they came to the tubs to drink,” or “That way, whenever the animals that were ready to breed came to the tubs to drink,”
