30:27 by experience. The words “by experience” should be translated “by enchantments.” Though he knew God after a fashion, Laban had become a sort of pagan mystic. God had overruled even in this, however, and Laban learned that the unusual prosperity he was experiencing was because of Jacob’s abilities and faithfulness.
