VERSE: Gn30-29a

========================== Gn30-29a ======================

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.

========== ============================ =================
GENERAL    You know how hard I worked   Worked in cold
GENERAL    How your flocks were with me I absorbed losses
DETAIL     Your few flock grew to many  Productivity*1

NOTES
-----
*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
