Genesis 30:43 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 30:43

And the man increased exceedingly
Jacob grew very rich: and had much cattle;
the greater part of Laban's flocks brought forth speckled, spotted, and brown cattle, which, according to agreement, were Jacob's: and maidservants, and menservants;
which he got to take care of his household affairs, and to assist him in keeping his flocks: and camels, and asses;
for his flocks increasing so very much, he sold many of his sheep at a good price, as Jarchi observes, and with it bought camels and asses; and these were very fit for his use, when he should be obliged or think fit to remove into his own country, and which he was meditating, and had a direction from the Lord for, as in the following chapter.

Genesis 30:43 In-Context

41 When the stronger animals in the flock were mating, Jacob put the branches before their eyes so they would mate near the branches.

42 But when the weaker animals mated, Jacob did not put the branches there. So the animals born from the weaker animals were Laban's, and those born from the stronger animals were Jacob's.

43 In this way Jacob became very rich. He had large flocks, many male and female servants, camels, and donkeys.
