SEV Biblia, Chapter 30:42

Y cuando venían las ovejas tardías, no las ponía; así eran las tardías para Labán, y las tempranas para Jacob.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 25-43 - The fourteen years being gone, Jacob was willing to depart without an provision, except God's promise. But he had in many ways a just claim on Laban's substance, and it was the will of God that he should be provided for from it. He referred his cause to God, rather than agre for stated wages with Laban, whose selfishness was very great. And it would appear that he acted honestly, when none but those of the colour fixed upon should be found among his cattle. Laban selfishly though that his cattle would produce few different in colour from their own Jacob's course after this agreement has been considered an instance of his policy and management. But it was done by intimation from God, an as a token of his power. The Lord will one way or another plead the cause of the oppressed, and honour those who simply trust his providence. Neither could Laban complain of Jacob, for he had nothin more than was freely agreed that he should have; nor was he injured but greatly benefitted by Jacob's services. May all our mercies be received with thanksgiving and prayer, that coming from his bounty they may lead to his praise __________________________________________________________________
