Genesis 30:29 continues the negotiation: Jacob reinforces his appeal by pointing to how well Laban's fared under his care.

Genesis 30:30 adds Jacob's specific argument: Laban had little before him, and the LORD blessed Laban through Jacob's labor.

Genesis 29:19 records Laban's original deal — Jacob works in exchange for Rachel. This is the service Jacob now invokes as his due.

Genesis 29:20 describes Jacob serving seven years for Rachel out of love — the labor he now claims entitles him to his wives and children.

Genesis 29:30 records Jacob serving seven more years for Rachel — the extended service he now references when demanding his family.

Genesis 31:6 echoes the same claim of faithful service — Jacob later reminds Laban he served 'with all my strength' before fleeing.

Genesis 31:38-40 expands on Jacob's service: sleepless nights, scorching heat, freezing cold — the full cost of those 20 years.

Genesis 31:41 is Jacob's own summary of twenty years' labor — directly echoing his claim here about years of hard service for his family.

Genesis 31:15 reveals Laban's daughters agreeing they were 'sold' and 'devoured' — confirming Jacob's grievance about his unpaid labor.

Genesis 31:26 has Laban accusing Jacob of carrying off daughters like plunder — contrasting sharply with Jacob's open, respectful request here.

Genesis 31:31 reveals Jacob fled secretly out of fear — a stark contrast to his forthright request here to be sent away openly.

Hosea 12:12 retells this exact event — Jacob serving Laban for his wives in Aram — as Israel's own history of faithful labor under deception.
