Y cuando venían las ovejas tardías, no las ponía: así eran las tardías para Labán, y las tempranas para Jacob.
On Flight and Finding
[9] Laban is of this class; for the sacred oracles assign to him the flock that is without mark (Gen. 30:42); and in the universe it is the matter devoid of quality and in men the ignorant and untutored soul that is without mark.
Who is the Heir of Divine Things
[180] Further, nature abounds in things which bear some shape or stamp and others which do not, even as it is with coins, and you may note how the invisible Severer divides them all into equal parts and awards those that are approved by their stamp to the lover of instruction, but those that have no stamp or mark to the man of ignorance. For we are told “the unmarked fell to Laban, but the marked to Jacob” (Gen. 30:42).
