“And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.”
In breeding season I once had a dream in which I looked up and saw that the male goats mating with the flock were streaked, speckled, or spotted. The dream confirms that the breeding arrangement was divinely directed — God showed Jacob what was happening genetically before it was fully visible. The application: what appeared to be folk biology in Genesis 30 was actually divinely revealed selective breeding based on the genetic potential already present in the flock.
