The language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis 30, Post #5
Welcome to my Hebrew reading & language series.
Genesis 30:25-30
Enough Servitude
Jacob is referencing the fourteen years that he served and asking that he be able to go with his wives and children in the passage for this week.
He notes that everything he touches prospers, and Laban has noticed that as well. So he asks Jacob to name his price in order to keep him there and working.
Jacob leads with his goal of taking his family and leaving, then continues with "when will I (be allowed to) provide for my own household?"
We leave it there as I sense another deal of sorts coming on. He has worked to earn one wife, then put in more years for Rachel, the on he loved at first sight, and now I sense he wants some things of value so that he can be the provider for his own family and children.
Today's reading
English
As soon as Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my own home and country. Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, that I may go, for you know the service that I have given you." But Laban said to him, "If I have found favor in your sight, I have learned by divination that YHVH has blessed me because of you. Name your wages, and 1 will give it." Jacob said to him, "You yourself know how I have served you, and how your livestock has fared with me. For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly, and YHVH has blessed you wherever I turned. But now when shall I provide for my own household also?"

The story continues next week as they separate the sheep...

Quite informative and educative. Just curious to know, do you write from left to right ...or right to left. Sorry for being such a noob to ask this. Just a thought popped up in my mind while reading it.
Left to right in English, obviously, but right to left in Hebrew.
Thank you for the information and clarification. Much appreciated.
