Genesis 30:42-43

42 But if the animals were weaker, he did not set the branches there.[a] So the weaker animals ended up belonging to Laban[b] and the stronger animals to Jacob. 43 In this way Jacob[c] became extremely prosperous. He owned[d] large flocks, male and female servants, camels, and donkeys.
