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 which I have served you, and let me go. For you yourself know my service that I have rendered to you."

27 But Laban said to him, "Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, I have learned by divination that Yahweh has blessed me because of you."

28 And he said, "Name your wage to me and I will give [it]."

29 Then he said to him, "You yourself know how I have served you and how your livestock have been with me.

30 For you had little before me, and it has increased abundantly. And Yahweh has blessed you {wherever I turned}. So then, when shall I provide for my own family also?"
