Genesis 31:39 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 31:39

37 Although you have searched all my things, what part of your household things have you found? Set it here before my brethren and your brethren, that they may judge between us both!

38 These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried their young, and I have not eaten the rams of your flock.

39 ^aThat which was torn by beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it. ^bYou required it from my hand, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

40 There I was! In the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.

41 Thus I have been in your house twenty years; I ^aserved you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and ^byou have changed my wages ten times.

42 ^aUnless the God of my father, the God of Abraham and ^bthe Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. ^cGod has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and ^drebuked you last night.”

Laban’s Covenant with Jacob

43 And Laban answered and said to Jacob, “These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and this flock is my flock; all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day to these my daughters or to their children whom they have borne?
