30 Sinulla oli vähä ennenkuin minä tulin, mutta nyt se on paljoksi kasvanut, ja Herra on siunannut sinun, minun jalkajuonteni kautta. Koska minä siis oman huoneeni parasta katson?

3990. 'You shall not give me anything; if you will do this one thing for me' means that the finding of the wages should rest with the good that springs from truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'not giving anything' as the finding resting not with the good represented by 'Laban' but with the good represented by 'Jacob', which is the good of truth, 3669, 3677, 3829. But what was to be found as wages is described in what follows below.
