- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et separavit in die illa capras, et oves, et hircos, et arietes varios, atque maculosos : cunctum autem gregem unicolorem, id est albi et nigri velleris, tradidit in manu filiorum suorum.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ διέστειλεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τοὺς τράγους τοὺς ῥαντοὺς καὶ τοὺς διαλεύκους, καὶ πάσας τὰς αἶγας τὰς ῥαντὰς καὶ τὰς διαλεύκους, καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἦν λευκὸν ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἦν φαιὸν ἐν τοῖς ἄρνασιν, καὶ ἔδωκεν διὰ χειρὸς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ.

Haydock's commentary
His sons. These continued to observe the conduct of Jacob, while Laban drove off all the flocks of divers colours to so great a distance, ver. 36, that there was no danger of the sheep under Jacob's care getting to them. Thus Laban first began to violate the agreement; and the angel of the Lord suggested to Jacob, the plan by which he was preserved from serving a cruel and avaricious man without wages, chap. xxxi. 12. (Menochius)
