Gênesis 31:9 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 31:9

Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father
Not all of them, see ( Genesis 31:19 ) ; but a great part of them; his flock was much lessened by those means, and more were taken away, and came to Jacob's share, than if Laban had abode by the original agreement: and gave [them] to me;
who has the disposing of all things in the world, whose the world, and all in it, are, and gives of it to the sons of men as he pleases. Jacob takes no notice of any artifice of his, or of any means and methods he made use of, but wholly ascribes all to the providence of God, and points to his wives the hand of God only; and indeed it seems to be by his direction that he took the method he did, as appears from ( Genesis 31:11-13 ) .

Gênesis 31:9 In-Context

7 mas ele tem me feito de tolo, mudando o meu salário dez vezes. Contudo, Deus não permitiu que ele me prejudicasse.
8 Se ele dizia: ‘As crias salpicadas serão o seu salário’, todos os rebanhos geravam filhotes salpicados; e, se ele dizia: ‘As que têm listras serão o seu salário’, todos os rebanhos geravam filhotes com listras.
9 Foi assim que Deus tirou os rebanhos de seu pai e os deu a mim.
10 “Na época do acasalamento, tive um sonho em que olhei e vi que os machos que fecundavam o rebanho tinham listras, eram salpicados e malhados.
11 O Anjo de Deus me disse no sonho: ‘Jacó!’ Eu respondi: ‘Eis-me aqui!’
