"Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Thus have I been twenty years in thy house,.... Attended with these difficulties, inconveniencies, and hardships: I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters; Rachel and Leah; first seven

years for Rachel; and having Leah imposed upon him instead of her, was obliged to serve seven years more, which he did for her sake; whereas he ought to have given them, and a dowry with them, to one who was heir to the land of Canaan, and not have exacted servitude of him: and six years for thy cattle, to have as many of them for his hire, as were produced from a flock of white sheep, that were speckled, spotted, or ringstraked, or brown: and thou hast changed my wages ten times; See Gill on Gen 31:7 ;
