29:15 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Should you work 3 for me for nothing because you are my relative? 4 Tell me what your wages should be.”
1 tn Heb “declared.”
2 tn Heb “that he [was] the brother of her father.”
3 tn The verb is the perfect with the vav (ו) consecutive; the nuance in the question is deliberative.
4 tn Heb “my brother.” The term “brother” is used in a loose sense; actually Jacob was Laban’s nephew.
