Appoint Me Thy Wages — Genesis 30:25–31

And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban,
Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country. Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service wherewith I have served thee.
GEN 30:25–26
And Laban said unto him,
If now I have found favor in thine eyes, tarry: for I have divined that Jehovah hath blessed me for thy sake.
And he said,
Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
GEN 30:27–28
And he said unto him,
Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me. For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased unto a multitude; and Jehovah hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
GEN 30:29–30
And he said,
What shall I give thee?
And Jacob said,
Thou shalt not give me aught: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it.
GEN 30:31
