Genesis 30:28 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 30:28

And he said, appoint me thy wages, and I will give [it].
] Say what thou wilt have, fix what salary thou thinkest sufficient, and I will agree to it, and punctually pay it: this he craftily said, not choosing to propose anything himself, but leaving it to Jacob, knowing very well the honesty and modesty of Jacob, that he would mention less wages than he could have the face to offer him.

Genesis 30:28 In-Context

26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I've worked, and let me go. You know how much work I've done for you."

27 Laban replied, "Listen to me. I've learned from the signs I've seen that the LORD has blessed me because of you."

28 So he offered, "Name your wages, and I'll pay them."

29 Jacob responded, "You know how much work I've done for you and what has happened to your livestock under my care.

30 The little that you had before I came has grown to a large amount. The LORD has blessed you wherever I've been. When can I do something for my own family?"
