Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 30:35

35 And he removed that day the he-goats that were ring-straked and spotted, and all the shegoats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown amongst the Sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

Which had lines or strakes like bands about them of divers colours from the rest of their body.

This word is oft understood in other texts of Scripture, and here it is so necessarily; as appears both from the thing it self, as it is related, and from the phrase; for he saith not that was white, but that [illegible: 1+ letters]ad white in it, to wit, mixed with other colours.
