37 So then Jacob took him rods of young storax, and hazel and maple,––and peeled in them white stripes, laying bare the white, which was on the rods.
38 And he set the rods which he had peeled, in the channels, in the troughs of water,––where the flocks came in to drink, straight before the flocks, and the females of the flock used to be in heat when they came in to drink;
39 and the males of the flock were in heat before the rods,––so the flocks brought forth ring–straked, speckled, and spotted.
40 The rams also, did Jacob separate, and then set the faces of the flocks towards the ring–straked and all the dark–coloured, among the flocks of Laban,––and he put, his own, droves by themselves, and put them not with the flocks of Laban.
41 So it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flocks were in heat, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flocks, in the channels,––that the females might be in heat among the rods;
42 but, when the flocks were late in bearing, he did not set them,––and so the late–born were Laban’s, but the strong ones Jacob’s.
43 Thus did the man break forth, exceedingly,––thus came he to have flocks in abundance, and maid–servants, and men–servants, and camels, and asses.

Genesis 30:37-43
Exodus 25:31-40
31 And thou shalt make a lampstand of pure gold,––of beaten work, shall the lampstand be made, even its base and its shaft, its cups, its apples, and its blossoms, of the same, shall be;
32 with, six branches, coming out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand, out the one side thereof, and three branches of the lampstand, out of the other side thereof:
33 three cups like almond–flowers, in the one branch––apple and blossom, and, three cups like almond–flowers, in the other branch––apple and blossom,––so, for the six branches, coming out of the lampstand.
34 And, in the lampstand itself, four cups,––like almond–flowers––its apples, and its blossoms;
35 and, an apple, under two branches, of the same, and, another apple, under two other branches, of the same, and, another apple, under two other branches, of the same,––for the six branches, coming out of the lampstand:
36 their apples and their branches, of the same, shall be,––all of it, of one beaten work, of pure gold.
37 And thou shalt make the lamps thereof, seven,––and one shall light up its lamps, and it shall give light, over against the face thereof.
38 And, its snuffers, and its snuff–trays, of pure gold.
39 With a talent of pure gold, shall he make it,––with all these vessels.
40 And see thou, and make them,––by the pattern of them, which, thou, wast caused to behold in the mount.
Numbers 17:8
8 And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses entered into the tent of the testimony; and lo! the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi, had budded,––yea it had brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and borne ripe almonds.
Ecclesiastes 12:1-14
1 Yet remember thy Creator, in the days of thy vigour,––or ever come in, the days of discomfort, and the years arrive, in which thou shalt say––I have, in them, no pleasure;
2 Or ever be darkened––the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars,––and the clouds return after a downpour of rain;
3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the men of might bow themselves,––and the grinders cease because they are few, and they who look through the windows are darkened;
4 And the doors in the street be closed, when the sound of the mill become low,––and one rise at the chirp of a small bird, and low–voiced be all the daughters of song;
5 Yea, at what is high, they be in fear, and there be, terrors, in the way, and the almond be rejected, and the grasshopper drag itself along, and desire perish,––for man is going to his age–abiding home, when the wailers shall go round in the streets;
6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken,––or the bucket by the fountain be shivered, or the wheel at the well be broken;
7 And the dust return to the earth, as it was,––and, the spirit, return unto God, who gave it.
8 Vanity of vanities, saith the Proclaimer, all, is vanity. 9 Besides that, the Proclaimer being wise,––still further taught knowledge unto the people, and weighed and searched, arranged proverbs in abundance. 10 The Proclaimer sought to find out words giving delight, and to note down rightly, the words of truth. 11 The words of the wise, are as goads, yea, as driven nails, their well–ordered sayings,––given from one shepherd. 12 And besides, from them, my son, be admonished,––Of making many books, there is no end, and, much study, is a weariness of the flesh.
13 The conclusion of the matter––the whole, let us hear,––Towards God, be reverent, and, his commandments, observe, for, this, [concerneth] all mankind. 14 For, every work, will God bring into judgment, with every hidden thing,––whether good, or evil.

Exodus 25:33-34
33 three cups like almond–flowers, in the one branch––apple and blossom, and, three cups like almond–flowers, in the other branch––apple and blossom,––so, for the six branches, coming out of the lampstand.
34 And, in the lampstand itself, four cups,––like almond–flowers––its apples, and its blossoms;
