Genesis 30:39

Context
30:39 When the sheep mated 1  in front of the branches, they 2  gave birth to young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.

1 tn The Hebrew verb used here can mean “to be in heat” (see v. 38) or “to mate; to conceive; to become pregnant.” The latter nuance makes better sense in this verse, for the next clause describes them giving birth.

2 tn Heb “the sheep.” The noun has been replaced by the pronoun (“they”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
