“This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.”
I have been with you for twenty years now. Your sheep and goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten rams from your flocks. Jacob's accounting of twenty years of faithful service is specific: no miscarriages, no eating from the flock. The application: the honest accounting of what you have and have not done — specific, not general — is the evidence of faithful stewardship.
