And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked 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, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
He removed ... the he-goats that were ringstraked - [Hebrew, `ªqudiym (H6124), marked with stripes; variegated, especially on the feet; pied-footed: Septuagint, tous rantous (Symmachus, leukopodas).]
And spotted, [Hebrew, wªhaTªlu'iym (H2921)] - having large spots like patches on their bodies (cf. Joshua 10:5); the goats and sheep are here spoken of together, being usually intermingled in the same flock, as they are in the present day (Robinson's 'Biblical Researches,' 2:, p. 169).
