Genesis 30:42

ἡνίκα δ᾿ ἂν ἔτεκον τὰ πρόβατα, οὐκ ἐτίθει· ἐγένετο δὲ τὰ ἄσημα τοῦ Λαβάν, τὰ δὲ ἐπίσημα τοῦ Ἰακὼβ.

but when the sheep would give birth, he did not place them; then the insignificant became Laban’s, but the choicest were Iakob’s.

ובהעטיף הצאן לא ישׂים והיה העטפים ללבן והקשׁרים ליעקב׃

 

* insignificant OR unmarked ones (ἄσημα = having no distinguishing marks or insignificant)
* choicest OR marked ones
