40 Some of the sheep that Jacob was keeping for Laban were already spotted. And when the others were ready to mate, he made sure that they faced in the direction of the spotted and black ones. In this way, Jacob built up a flock of sheep for himself and did not put them with the other sheep.
Un nom né d'un combat Le nom « Israël » naît dans la Genèse. Après avoir lutté avec Dieu toute une nuit, Jacob reçoit ce nouveau nom qui signifie « il a lutté avec Dieu » (Genèse 32:28). Un peuple entier portera le nom de cet homme transformé.
