The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 30:30

For it was little which thou hadst before I came ,—literally, for little (it was) was to thee before me; i . e . not in place, ἰναντίον ἐμοῦ ( LXX .), but in time, i . e . before my arrival— and it is now increased —literally, broken forth (cf. Genesis 30:43 )— unto a multitude; and the Lord (Jehovah) hath blessed thee since my coming (literally, at my foot , i . e . wherever I have gone among your flocks): and now when shall I provide (literally, ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 30:31

And he (Laban, unwilling to part with so profitable an assistant) said, What shall I give thee? He was apparently prepared to detain Jacob at his own terms. And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me anything. Jacob did not design to serve Laban gratuitously, but chose rather to trust God than Laban for recompense (Wordsworth, Gosman in Lange); or he may have meant that he would have no wages of Laban's setting, but only of his own proposing (Hughes). If thou wilt do this thing for me ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 30:32

I will pass through all thy flock today ,—wrongly rendered παρελθέτω πάντα τὰ πρόβάτα σου ( LXX ), gyra per omnes greges tuos , but "to remove," the verb being in the inf.— all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats . Since in Oriental countries sheep are commonly white and goats black, the number of speckled and spotted animals ( i . e . sheep with little spots and largo patches of black, and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 30:32

Genesis 30:32. Removing all the speckled and spotted He does not mean, that those cattle which were already speckled and spotted, &c., should be given him; for that does not agree with what went before: Thou shalt not give me any thing, that is, I will take nothing that is now thine. Besides, it would have been no wonder if those that were spotted already should bring forth others like themselves. But the sense is, that he would separate all the spotted sheep and goats, and then, out... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 30:25-43

Jacob tricks Laban (30:25-43)After Rachel had borne him a son, Jacob decided to return to Canaan. Laban asked Jacob what wages he would like, since much of Laban’s prosperity had resulted from Jacob’s farming ability (25-30). Jacob claimed as wages all the part-coloured animals in the flock, plus all the black sheep. As these were relatively few in number, Laban agreed, though he then attempted to lessen Jacob’s profit by removing from the flocks all the part-coloured animals and black sheep he... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 30:1-42

The last paragraph of the preceding chapter and most of this one relate the birth of the Twelve Patriarchs. The last section of this chapter (Genesis 30:24-43) relates Jacob's preparations to leave Laban and return to Canaan. As the birth of the antediluvian patriarchs was discussed earlier and presented by means of a chart, the Twelve Patriarchs of Israel will now be presented in much the same manner. It is not necessary to read over and over again that Jacob went in unto her ... and she... read more
