OET (OET-LV) And_the_lambs he_separated Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) and_he/it_gave the_faces the_flocks to [the]_striped and_all dark_[one] in/on/at/with_flock of_Lāⱱān and_put to_him/it flocks for_him/it_being_alone and_not put_them with the_flock of_Lāⱱān.
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.
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”
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).

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