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.
