Genesis 30:26

Context
30:26 Let me take my wives and my children whom I have acquired by working for you. 1  Then I’ll depart, 2  because you know how hard I’ve worked for you.” 3 

1 tn Heb “give my wives and my children, for whom I have served you.” In one sense Laban had already “given” Jacob his two daughters as wives (Gen 29:21, 28). Here Jacob was asking for permission to take his own family along with him on the journey back to Canaan.

2 tn Following the imperative, the cohortative with the prefixed conjunction indicates purpose or result.

3 tn Heb “for you, you know my service [with] which I have served you.”
