Genesis 30:30 - Exposition

For it was little which thou hadst before I came ,—literally, for little (it was) was to thee before me; i . e . not in place, ἰναντίον ἐμοῦ ( LXX .), but in time, i . e . before my arrival— and it is now increased —literally, broken forth (cf. Genesis 30:43 )— unto a multitude; and the Lord (Jehovah) hath blessed thee since my coming (literally, at my foot , i . e . wherever I have gone among your flocks): and now when shall I provide (literally, do ) for mine own house also?
