“The beasts that were of the later coming became Laban's.”

Annotatio CX

”The beasts that were of the later coming became Laban’s.” — Genesis 30:42

The Septuagint, for what is in the Hebrew — “The beasts that were of the later [season] became Laban’s, but those of the first time [season], Jacob’s” — translated in a different sense:¹ “But the beasts that were not marked became Laban’s, and the marked ones, Jacob’s.” [So] Jerome, in the Hebrew Questions.
