Genesis 30:25-30 Common English Bible (CEB)

25. After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Send me off so that I can go to my own place and my own country.

26. Give me my wives and children whom I’ve worked for, and I will go. You know the work I’ve done for you."

27. Laban said to him, "Do me this favor. I’ve discovered by a divine sign that the Lord has blessed me because of you,

28. so name your price and I will pay it."

29. Jacob said to him, "You know how I’ve worked for you, and how well your livestock have done with me.

30. While in my care, what little you had has multiplied a great deal. The Lord blessed you wherever I took your livestock. Now, when will I be able to work for my own household too?"
