Commento su Genesi 31:41
זֶה־לִּ֞י עֶשְׂרִ֣ים שָׁנָה֮ בְּבֵיתֶךָ֒ עֲבַדְתִּ֜יךָ אַרְבַּֽע־עֶשְׂרֵ֤ה שָׁנָה֙ בִּשְׁתֵּ֣י בְנֹתֶ֔יךָ וְשֵׁ֥שׁ שָׁנִ֖ים בְּצֹאנֶ֑ךָ וַתַּחֲלֵ֥ף אֶת־מַשְׂכֻּרְתִּ֖י עֲשֶׂ֥רֶת מֹנִֽים׃
Ho scorsi vent’anni in casa tua: t’ho servito quattordici anni per le due tue figlie, e sei anni pel tuo bestiame; e tu mi cangiasti la mercede [i patti] dieci volte.
Rashi on Genesis
ותחלף את משכרתי AND THOU HAST CHANGED MY HIRE — You have altered the agreement regarding my hire between us from speckled to spotted and from streaked to grisled.

Kli Yakar on Genesis
That I have been in your house. Actually, he was only in Lavan’s house for a month (29:14). The rest of the time he was in the field and in his tents. However, that month was so unpleasant that it seemed as if he spent the entire twenty years there.

ותחלף את משכרתי, by doing so you reversed yourself since it had been you who had determined what my wages should be.
