Genesis 30:27

Jacob’s Agreement with Laban

25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, ^a“Send me away, that I may go to ^bmy own place and to my country.

26 Give me my wives and my children ^afor whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service which ^bI have done for you.”

27 And Laban said to him, “Please stay, if I have found favor in your eyes, for I have learned by experience that the Lord has blessed me for your sake.”

28 Then he said, ^a“Name me your wages, and I will give it.”

29 So Jacob said to him, ^a“You know how I have served you and how your livestock has been with me.
