30:37 Note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.
OET (OET-RV) Then Yacob got some freshly cut branches of poplar and almond and plane trees, and peeled white stripes in them by exposing the white that was inside the branches.

לִבְנֶ֛ה & וְל֣וּז וְעֶרְמ֑וֹן
poplar & and,almond and,plane_trees
If the three kinds of trees are not known in your language area, you could transliterate the names of the trees or be more general and leave out the names (if they are too distracting). Alternate translation: “from poplar trees, hazel trees, and plane trees,” or “from three different kinds of trees,”
וַיְפַצֵּ֤ל בָּהֵן֙ פְּצָל֣וֹת לְבָנ֔וֹת
and,peeled in/on/at/with,them stripes white
Alternate translation: “and peeled off long pieces of bark,” or “and made white stripes on them by stripping off long pieces of bark,”
מַחְשֹׂף֙ הַלָּבָ֔ן אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל הַמַּקְלֽוֹת
exposing the,white which/who on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,branches
Alternate translation: “which showed the white wood under the bark.” or “so that the white wood that was inside the branches was exposed”
30:37 making white streaks: A clever wordplay captures the meaning of this whole section. When Jacob exposed the white (Hebrew laban) streaks of wood underneath, he played the “white” game (the Laban game) and won. As he outwitted Laban (“Whitey”), Jacob’s flocks flourished and Jacob prospered.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
