Genesis 30:29-31

International Standard Version

²⁹ But Jacob replied to Laban, “You know how I’ve served you and how your cattle thrived under my care. ³⁰ What you had previously was only a few head, but the herd has now multiplied, because the Lord has blessed you through my efforts.^[a] But now, when am I going to be able to provide for my own household?”

³¹ “What do I have to give you?” Laban asked.

Jacob responded, “You don’t have to give me anything. Just do this for me: Let me tend your flock again and watch over it.
