    All four occurrences use the masculine plural absolute adjective for animals. In Genesis 31:10 and Genesis 31:12, the APB renders the goats rising upon the flock as “striped, speckled, and spotted”; in Zechariah 6:3 and Zechariah 6:6, it renders the horses as “spotted” within the chariot scene.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the animal markings with “striped, speckled, and spotted” for the goats and “spotted” for the horses. These phrases confirm the verses' depiction without isolating a precise English equivalent in every clause.
