(35) And he removed.--The question has been asked whether it was Jacob or Laban who made the division, and whether Jacob was to have all such sheep and goats as were parti-coloured already, or such only as should be born afterwards. The authors of the Authorised Version evidently thought that Laban himself removed all speckled sheep and goats, and kept them; but the Hebrew is by no means so much in favour of this view as their own translation. Thus, in Genesis 30:32 they insert "of such" in italics; the Hebrew distinctly says, And it shall be my hire: that is, every one speckled or spotted shall be mine, the singular number being used throughout. Next, in Genesis 30:33 they translate, in time to come: according to this, if the particoloured sheep and goats at any time produced white or black lambs, as they generally would, such would revert to Laban; the Hebrew says, My righteousness shall answer for me to-morrow. Jacob was to make the selection at once, but the next day Laban was to look over all those put aside, and if he found among them any white sheep, or black or brown goats, he was to regard them as stolen--that is, not merely might he take them back, but require the usual fine or compensation.

And gave them into the hand of his sons.--It has been assumed that these were Laban's sons, on the ground that Jacob's sons were not old enough to undertake the charge; but as Reuben was twenty-six, this was not the case. Jacob's flocks would have fared but badly if they had been entrusted to Laban's sons, nor could he, six years later, have escaped, had his property been in their keeping, without Laban being immediately aware of it.

Verse 35. - And he - Laban (Rosenmüller, Keil, Delitzsch, Kalisch, Murphy, et alii); Jacob (Lange) - removed that day (that the smallest possible chance of success might remain to his nephew) the he-goats that were ringstraked (striped or banded) and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, - four sorts of animals were to be removed:

(1) the dotted,

(2) the patched,

(3) the ring-marked or striped, and . . .
