Genesis 30:39 Context
37¶ And Iacob tooke him rods of greene poplar, and of the hasel and chesnut tree, and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appeare which was in the rods. 38And he set the rods which he had pilled, before the flockes in the gutters in the watering troughes when the flocks came to drinke, that they should conceiue when they came to drinke. 39And the flockes conceiued before the rods, and brought forth cattell ringstraked, speckled and spotted. 40And Iacob did separate the lambes, and set the faces of the flockes toward the ring-straked, and all the browne in the flocke of Laban: and he put his owne flocks by themselues, and put them not vnto Labans cattell. 41And it came to passe whensoeuer the stronger cattell did conceiue, that Iacob layd the rods before the eyes of the cattell in the gutters, that they might conceiue among the rods.

10 years AgoRichardNow the reason why God wants that first born set aside for him..Is because without that first born son There would be no message.!! The flesh blood line would not have gone forward And the secret or mystery why we are here would not have been able to been figured out... Or know Christ would have died on the cross for our sins..When Cain knew what he did he said what he said to the Lord because he knew That my punishment is more than I can bear And knowing what he felt and did he knew that someone could come and kill him Or have enmity toward him..!!The first example of the first born ever born from the flesh example of what and how we all can be and have in our hearts enmity ,in the flesh..So the Lord mark him... To begin The Living WordFlag

10 years AgoRichardOh my....Nowhere in God's Word does it say the first born daughter is to be married first Or male Only Like Laden and everybody else says it's our customer.!!!!!!The only thing that God says is that the firstborn of cattle And the firstborn of men Are to be set aside because they are mine.!!! We know what the firstborn of the cattle are for atonement this ends of the family Or person It is unclear why the firstborn are to be set aside however I believe, or I know it's because they insure a bloodline carry forward in the flesh..!The first born is to receive a double portion of the inheritance And has the right to be the head of that house.!!!And a woman if she is not married is to receive a heritage.!!
