(Gen. 30:37³⁷And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. (Genesis 30:37)).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

The word is luz, which is now thought to refer to the “almond,” and is so translated in the RV (Gen. 30:37³⁷And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. (Genesis 30:37)).
