Covetousness in Defrauding Laban of his Flocks and Herds Genesis 30:35–43

That very day Laban removed all the streaked or spotted male goats and every speckled or spotted female goat—every one that had any white on it—and every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons. / Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks. / Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
