For little was yours before my presence, and it has spread out into a host. And Jehovah has blessed you at my foot. And now when shall I work for my house, I also?
And he said, What shall I give you? And Jacob said, You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will turn back; I will feed your flock and keep it.
Behold, I am ready to come to you a third time. And I will not burden you, for I do not seek your things, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasure for the parents, but the parents for the children.
For the land to which you are going over there, to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from which you came out, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs.
