Kabbalah zu Bereschit 31:41
זֶה־לִּ֞י עֶשְׂרִ֣ים שָׁנָה֮ בְּבֵיתֶךָ֒ עֲבַדְתִּ֜יךָ אַרְבַּֽע־עֶשְׂרֵ֤ה שָׁנָה֙ בִּשְׁתֵּ֣י בְנֹתֶ֔יךָ וְשֵׁ֥שׁ שָׁנִ֖ים בְּצֹאנֶ֑ךָ וַתַּחֲלֵ֥ף אֶת־מַשְׂכֻּרְתִּ֖י עֲשֶׂ֥רֶת מֹנִֽים׃
Das hatte ich die zwanzig Jahre in deinem Hause; gedient habe ich dir! Vierzehn Jahre um deine beiden Töchter und sechs Jahre um deine Herden; und zehnmal hast du meinen Lohn geändert!
Zohar
Laban used ten kinds of divination and enchantments from the illumination of the lower crowns, but could not prevail against Jacob. In connection with this, it is written, "and you have changed my wages ten times" (Beresheet 31:41). Laban used all these tools against him, but could not harm him, as it is written, "and changed my wages ten times; but Elohim did not allow him to hurt me" (Ibid. 7). What is the meaning of "times (Heb. מוֹנִים)?" It was translated into "kinds (Heb. מִינִים)." It is also written, "the demons, after whom they have gone astray (Heb. זוֹנִים)" (Vayikra 17:7). "Times" are literally 'kinds' (Aramaic זִינִין), the ten kinds of sorcery and divination of the lower crowns of the Klipot. Laban employed all of these against him.
