Genesis 30:25-30

New International Version

Jacob’s Flocks Increase

²⁵ After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way^(A) so I can go back to my own homeland.^{(B) 26} Give me my wives and children, for whom I have served you,^(C) and I will be on my way. You know how much work I’ve done for you.”

²⁷ But Laban said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes,^(D) please stay. I have learned by divination^(E) that the Lord has blessed me because of you.”^{(F) 28} He added, “Name your wages,^(G) and I will pay them.”

²⁹ Jacob said to him, “You know how I have worked for you^(H) and how your livestock has fared under my care.^{(I) 30} The little you had before I came has increased greatly, and the Lord has blessed you wherever I have been.^(J) But now, when may I do something for my own household?^(K)”
