Genesis 30:29 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 30:29

And he said unto him
Jacob to Laban, thou knowest that I have served thee;
not only diligently and faithfully, without any salary, excepting for his wives; otherwise he had no wages for his service all this time, which therefore should be considered for the future: and how thy cattle was with me:
always under his care, and he ever watchful of them; spent all his time and labour with them, and had no opportunity of getting anything for himself.
