43 Niin Laaban vastasi ja sanoi Jaakobille: "Tyttäret ovat minun tyttäriäni, ja lapset ovat minun lapsiani, ja karja on minun karjaani, ja kaikki, mitä näet, on minun omaani. Mutta minkä minä nyt mahdan näille tyttärilleni tai lapsille, jotka he ovat synnyttäneet!

4150. 'Examine for yourself what is with me, and take them to yourself means that everything belonging to that good had been separated. This is clear from the literal meaning of these words, which is that 'nothing that is yours resides with me', that is, nothing belonging to the good meant by 'Laban' is present in the good which 'Jacob' represents, and therefore that everything belonging to that good had been separated.
