Kejadian 29:15

29:15 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Should you work ¹  for me for nothing because you are my relative? ²  Tell me what your wages should be.”

Kejadian 29:19

29:19 Laban replied, “I’d rather give her to you than to another man. ³  Stay with me.”

[29:15]  ¹ tn The verb is the perfect with the vav (ו) consecutive; the nuance in the question is deliberative.

[29:15]  ² tn Heb “my brother.” The term “brother” is used in a loose sense; actually Jacob was Laban’s nephew.

[29:19]  ³ tn Heb “Better my giving her to you than my giving her to another man.”
