Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 30. - For it was little which thou hadst before I came, - literally, for little (it was) was to thee before me; i.e. not in place, ἰναντίον ἐμοῦ (LXX.), but in time, i.e. before my arrival - and it is now increased - literally, broken forth (cf. ver. 43) - unto a multitude; and the Lord (Jehovah) hath blessed thee since my coming (literally, at my foot, i.e. wherever I have gone among your flocks): and now when shall I provide (literally, do) for mine own house also?
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(30) It was little.--The Rabbins see proof of this in Laban's sheep being kept by a young girl like Rachel (Genesis 29:9).It is now increased.--Heb., broken forth, spread itself abroad with irresistible might. (Comp. Exodus 1:12.)Since my coming.--Heb., at my foot. This answers to "before I came" (Heb., before me) in the first clause. "It was little that thou hadst before me, and it hath broken forth into a multitude, and God hath blessed thee behind me." Wherever I have gone, prosperity has followed in my footsteps.
