Context Readings

Jacob Flees From Laban

40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes. 41 These twenty years I have been in thy house. I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock. And thou have changed my wages ten times. 42 Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now thou would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee last night.
