Targum su Genesi 30:41
וְהָיָ֗ה בְּכָל־יַחֵם֮ הַצֹּ֣אן הַמְקֻשָּׁרוֹת֒ וְשָׂ֨ם יַעֲקֹ֧ב אֶת־הַמַּקְל֛וֹת לְעֵינֵ֥י הַצֹּ֖אן בָּרֳהָטִ֑ים לְיַחְמֵ֖נָּה בַּמַּקְלֽוֹת׃
Ora, ogni volta ch’entravano in calore le femine che partorivano di primavera, Giacobbe metteva i bastoni nei canali, in faccia alle pecore, in guisa ch’entrassero in calore guardando i bastoni.
Targum Jonathan on Genesis
And it was that whenever the early (prime) sheep conceived, Jakob set the rods in the canals before the eyes of the sheep, that they might conceive before the rods.
