Genesis 30:25-27

New International Reader's Version

Jacob Becomes the Owner of Large Flocks

²⁵ After Rachel had Joseph, Jacob spoke to Laban. He said, “Send me on my way. I want to go back to my own home and country. ²⁶ Give me my wives and children. I worked for you to get them. So I’ll be on my way. You know how much work I’ve done for you.”

²⁷ But Laban said to him, “If you are pleased with me, stay here. I’ve discovered that the Lord has blessed me because of you.”
