Genesis 31:42 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 31:42

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?

44 Now therefore, come, ^alet us make a covenant, ^byou and I, and let it be a witness between you and me.”
