Bereshis 31:6 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 31:6

And ye know, that with all my power I have served your
father.
] With all faithfulness and uprightness; with all diligence and industry; with all wisdom and prudence; with all my might and main, contriving the best methods, and sparing no pains by day or night to take care of his flocks, and increase his substance: of this his wives had been witnesses for twenty years past, and to them he appeals for the truth of it; so that there was no just reason for their father's behaviour towards him.

Bereshis 31:6 In-Context

4 And Ya’akov sent and called Rachel and Leah to the sadeh unto his tzon,

5 And said unto them, I see penei avichen, that it is not toward me as before; but Elohei Avi is with me.

6 And ye know that with all my koach I have served avichen.

7 And avichen hath deceived me, and changed my sachar aseret monim but Elohim allowed him not to harm me.

8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy sachar; then all the tzon bore speckled; and if he said thus, The streaked shall be thy sachar; then bore all the tzon streaked.
