Genesis 30:37-39
Contemporary English Version
37 Jacob cut branches from some poplar trees and from some almond and evergreen trees. He peeled off part of the bark and made the branches look spotted and speckled. 38 Then he put the branches where the sheep and goats would see them[a] while they were drinking from the water trough. The goats mated there 39 in front of the branches, and their young were spotted and speckled.
