Genesis 30:29-31

New International Reader's Version

²⁹ Jacob said to him, “You know how hard I’ve worked for you. You know that your livestock has done better under my care. ³⁰ You had only a little before I came. But that little has become a lot. The Lord has blessed you everywhere I’ve been. But when can I do something for my own family?”

³¹ “What should I give you?” Laban asked.

“Don’t give me anything,” Jacob replied. “Just do one thing for me. Then I’ll go on taking care of your flocks and watching over them.
