At sumagot si Laban at sinabi niya kay Jacob: “Ang mga anak na babae ay aking mga anak na babae, at ang mga anak ay aking mga anak, at ang kawan ay aking kawan, at ang lahat ng iyong nakikita ay akin. Ngunit sa aking mga anak na babae, ano ang magagawa ko sa kanila ngayon, o sa kanilang mga anak na kanilang isinilang?
On the Cherubim
[67] Surely Laban, whose heart was fixed on particular qualities, must have made Jacob laugh loud and long, Jacob who discerns rather than these the nature which is outside class or category. Laban dared to say to him “the daughters are my daughters, the sons are my sons, the cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest are mine and my daughters’ ” (Gen. 31:43). In each case he adds the “my,” and his proud talk about himself goes on without ceasing.
