Genesis 30 - Introduction

A.M. 2255. B.C. 1749.

Here we have the increase,

( 1,) Of Jacob's family; eight children more being registered in this chapter.

(2,) Of Jacob's estate. He comes upon a new bargain with Laban, Genesis 30:25. And in the six years' further service he did to Laban, God wonderfully blessed him, so that his stock of all cattle became very considerable, Genesis 30:35. Thus was fulfilled the blessing with which Isaac dismissed him: God make thee fruitful, and multiply thee.
