Genesis 31:39-41
GOD’S WORD Translation
39 I never brought you any of the flock that was killed by wild animals. I paid for the loss myself. That’s what you demanded of me when any of the flock was stolen during the day or at night. 40 The scorching heat during the day and the cold at night wore me down, and I lost a lot of sleep. 41 I’ve been with your household 20 years now. I worked for you 14 years for your two daughters and 6 years for your flocks, and you changed my wages 10 times.

I worked for you fourteen years for your two daughters(E) and six years for your flocks,(F) and you changed my wages(G) ten times.(H)
