25 When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”
27 Laban said to him, “If now I have found favour in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that the Lord has blessed me for your sake.”
28 He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. The Lord has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
31 Laban said, “What shall I give you?”Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
