VERSE: Gn30-29a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03 | ||
SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 5 main goals is to describe STYLE. EXAMPLE ------- Gn30-29:30 uses a GENERAL-PARTICULAR style - GENERAL You know how much I worked for you - GENERAL You know how your flock were with me - DETAILS The few flock you had grew into many When the Bible uses the GENERAL-DETAIL style the emphasis is on the DETAILS. Jacob emphasized the PRODUCTIVITY (the few became many). He did not emphasize the work conditions (eg he worked in cold and absorbed all losses). His goal was to impress his boss that the boss should let him go with good severance pay and the best argument for that was the productivity he gave. | ||

*1 So Jacobs emphasis was not on how much he SUFFERED (the "boss" didnt care about employee abuse). Rather the emphasis was on how much PRODUCTIVITY he had. Jacob was hoping to persuade Laban that he OWED him something |
