Ramban on Genesis 31:6/רמב"ן על בראשית ל״א:ו׳
אכִּי בְּכָל כֹּחִי עָבַדְתִּי אֶת אֲבִיכֶן מִתְּחִלָּה, וְנִתְבָּרֵךְ לְרַגְלִי. וְיִתָּכֵן שֶׁהָיָה לְלָבָן צֹאן רַבּוֹת, כִּי נִתְבָּרְכוּ גַּם הָעֲטוּפִים לְרֶגֶל יַעֲקֹב, כִּי לֹא צָעֲקוּ בָּנָיו רַק בְּקִנְאָתָם לְיַעֲקֹב שֶׁעָשָׂה כָּל הַכָּבוֹד הַזֶּה:
1THAT WITH ALL MY POWER I HAVE SERVED YOUR FATHER. That is, “from the outset, and he has been blessed since my coming.” It is possible that Laban’s flocks had been many, but that even the feebler ones were blessed since Jacob came, for Laban’s sons complained only out of jealousy of Jacob that he had gotten all this wealth.176
