Genesis 31:6

6 et ipsae nostis quod totis viribus meis servierim patri vestro

Genesis 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.

Genesis 31:6 In-Context

4 misit et vocavit Rahel et Liam in agrum ubi pascebat greges

5 dixitque eis video faciem patris vestri quod non sit erga me sicut heri et nudius tertius Deus autem patris mei fuit mecum

6 et ipsae nostis quod totis viribus meis servierim patri vestro

7 sed pater vester circumvenit me et mutavit mercedem meam decem vicibus et tamen non dimisit eum Deus ut noceret mihi

8 si quando dixit variae erunt mercedes tuae pariebant omnes oves varios fetus quando vero e contrario ait alba quaeque accipies pro mercede omnes greges alba pepererunt
