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.

26 Gib mir meine Weiber und meine Kinder um die ich dir gedient habe, daß ich ziehe; denn du weißt, wie ich dir gedient habe.
27 Laban sprach zu ihm: Laß mich Gnade vor deinen Augen finden. Ich spüre, daß mich der HERR segnet um deinetwillen;
28 bestimme den Lohn, den ich dir geben soll. {~}
29 Er aber sprach zu ihm: Du weißt, wie ich dir gedient habe und was du für Vieh hast unter mir.
30 Du hattest wenig, ehe ich her kam, nun aber ist's ausgebreitet in die Menge, und der HERR hat dich gesegnet durch meinen Fuß. Und nun, wann soll ich auch mein Haus versorgen?
