“And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.”
The flocks mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted. Jacob's herd of unusual animals is growing from Laban's standard-colored flocks. The application: the outcome of Jacob's method is exactly what he prayed and worked for. Whether through folk biology or divine direction or both, the spotted animals multiply.
