Ringstreaked
Ringstreaked
ringstrekt (the King James Version and the English Revised Version ringstraked): Gen 30:35, Gen 30:39, Gen 30:40; Gen 31:8 (twice), 10, 12 for , akodh. In the context of Gen 30:35, etc., akodh certainly denotes defective coloring of some sort, but the exact meaning of the word is uncertain. The translation ringstreaked (marked with circular bands) comes from connecting the word with the Hebrew root kd, to bind (Gen 22:9), but this connection is dubious.
