Genesi 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.

Genesi 30:43 In-Context

41 E ogni volta che le pecore primaiuole entravano in calore, Giacobbe metteva quelle verghe ne’ canali, alla vista delle pecore e delle capre; acciocchè entrassero in calore, alla vista di quelle verghe.

42 Ma, quando le pecore erano serotine, egli non ve le poneva; e così le pecore serotine erano di Labano, e le primaiuole di Giacobbe.

43 E quell’uomo crebbe sommamente in facoltà, ed ebbe molte gregge, e servi, e serve, e cammelli, ed asini.
