It may be more natural to put this phrase earlier and say, “… saw that the male goats and sheep that were streaked, speckled, and spotted were the only ones that were mating with the female goats and sheep.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “were streaked speckled, or spotted” or “had a striped, speckled, or blotched pattern in their fur”
31:1-21 Jacob’s return journey precipitated a confrontation with Laban that set a permanent boundary between Israel (Jacob) and Aram (Laban). God kept his word to Jacob by prospering him in Paddan-aram and protecting him on his journey home.
