να περασω σημερον δια μεσον ολου του ποιμνιου σου, διαχωριζων εκειθεν παν προβατον εχον ποικιλματα και κηλιδας, και παν το μελανωπον μεταξυ των αρνιων, και το εχον κηλιδας και ποικιλματα μεταξυ των αιγων· και ταυτα να ηναι ο μισθος μου·
Γένεση 30:32
Arcana Coelestia #3975
3975. 'For whom I have served you' means from His own power. This is clear from the meaning of 'serving' as toil and endeavour, dealt with in 3824, 3846. When these terms are used in reference to the Lord, His own power is meant, for it was from His own power that the Lord obtained Divine Goods and Divine Truths for Himself and made His Human Divine, see 1616, 1749, 1755, 1921, 2025, 2026, 2083, 2500, 2523, 2632, 2816, 3382.
