Genesis 30:32

Genesis 31:41

31:41 This was my lot 5  for twenty years in your house: I worked like a slave 6  for you – fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks, but you changed my wages ten times!

1 tn Heb “pass through.”

2 tn Or “every black lamb”; Heb “and every dark sheep among the lambs.”

3 tn Heb “and the spotted and speckled among the goats.”

4 tn Heb “and it will be my wage.” The referent collective singular pronoun (“it) has been specified as “these animals” in the translation for clarity.

5 tn Heb “this to me.”

6 tn Heb “served you,” but in this accusatory context the meaning is more “worked like a slave.”
