46 εἶπεν δὲ ιακωβ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ συλλέγετε λίθους καὶ συνέλεξαν λίθους καὶ ἐποίησαν βουνόν καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον ἐκεῖ ἐπὶ τοῦ βουνοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ λαβαν ὁ βουνὸς οὗτος μαρτυρεῖ ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ σήμερον

4076. 'And you yourselves know that with all my strength I have served your father' means that He acted by His own power. This is clear from the meaning of 'serving' as diligent effort, dealt with in 3824, 3846, but in reference to the Lord, as His own power, dealt with in 3975, 3977, the more so when the phrase 'with all my strength' is added.
