BrLXX Καὶ παρέθηκε τὰς ῥάβδους, ἃς ἐλέπισεν, ἐν τοῖς ληνοῖς τῶν ποτιστηρίων τοῦ ὕδατος, ἵνα ὡς ἂν ἔλθωσι τὰ πρόβατα πιεῖν, ἐνώπιον τῶν ῥάβδων ἐλθόντων αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πιεῖν, ἐγκισσήσωσι τὰ πρόβατα εἰς τὰς ῥάβδους.

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).
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,”
