And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
Y Labán le dijo a Jacob: '¿Acaso por ser mi pariente vas a trabajar para mí sin recibir pago? Dime, ¿cuál debería ser tu salario?'
Labán le preguntó a Jacob qué salario quería recibir por su trabajo, ya que no debía trabajar gratis solo por ser familia.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of Genesis, Jacob had fled from his brother Esau after deceiving him and traveled to Haran, where he met his uncle Laban, who was a prosperous shepherd. Laban welcomed Jacob as family but was practical about his labor, asking for fair wages in line with ancient Near Eastern customs where relatives often worked together yet expected compensation to maintain household economies. This conversation highlights the cultural emphasis on negotiated agreements in family and business matters during that patriarchal era.
