OET (OET-RV) Then Yacob separated out those young animals into a separate flock, and he made the older flocks look at the streaked and all the dark-coloured animals in Lavan’s flocks. So he kept his own flocks by themselves and didn’t mix them with Lavan’s flocks.

ULT Then Jacob set apart the lambs, and he made the faces of the flocks look at the streaked and all the dark-colored animals in the flocks of Laban. And he put flocks for himself by themselves, and he did not put them with the flocks of Laban.

UST Then Jacob separated those young animals from Laban’s flocks to form new flocks for himself, and he put the rest of the flocks with the striped and dark-colored animals in Laban’s flocks so that they would mate and have young that were striped or dark-colored. In that way, over time he created separate flocks of sheep and goats for himself that he kept separate from Laban’s flocks.

T4T Furthermore, Jacob separated the female sheep in his flock from the other sheep and goats in Laban’s flock. And when his female sheep mated, he made them look toward the animals that belonged to Laban that had black and white stripes on them, and the dark-colored animals. He did that so that the female sheep would give birth to animals that were striped or dark-colored. By doing that, he made bigger flocks for himself, and he kept them separate from Laban’s flocks.

LEB And Jacob separated the lambs and turned the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the dark-colored in Laban’s flocks. And he put his own herds apart, and did not put them with the flocks of Laban.

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:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ֠⁠יִּתֵּן פְּנֵ֨י הַ⁠צֹּ֧אן אֶל

and=he/it_gave face/surface_of the,flocks to/towards

The Hebrew text uses an idiom here that means Jacob put the marked and unmarked animals together (so that they would mate).

עָקֹ֛ד וְ⁠כָל ח֖וּם

streaked and=all black

See how you translated streaked in verses 35 and 39, and how you translated dark-colored in verses 32-33 and 35. Alternate translation: “all the striped animals and dark-colored animals”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠צֹ֣אן לָבָ֑ן

in/on/at/with,flock Lāⱱān

You may need to make it explicit in your translation why Jacob put the unmarked sheep and goats with Laban’s streaked and spotted animals, so that people understand what Jacob was doing.

וַ⁠יָּֽשֶׁת ל֤⁠וֹ עֲדָרִים֙ לְ⁠בַדּ֔⁠וֹ

and,put to=him/it herds for=him/it=being_alone

Alternate translation: “In that way, over time he made separate flocks of sheep and goats for himself”
