Genesis 30:30 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Since my coming— Heb. at my foot, i.e.. ever since I set my foot within thy doors; or wheresoever I went, and led thy flock. But Maimonides says it signifies, because of me, for my sake. St. Austin reports, that in Africa they express a happy man, by saying a man with a good foot. Houbigant says, that the original is, verbatim, ad mea vestigia, at my footsteps, when thy flocks followed me as their shepherd.

Genesis 30:30

30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increasedh unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
