Ramban on Genesis 31:7/רמב"ן על בראשית ל״א:ז׳
אוַאֲבִיכֶן הֵתֶל בִּי וְהֶחֱלִף אֶת מַשְׂכֻּרְתִּי זֶה הָיָה אֱמֶת וְאִם לֹא סִפְּרוֹ הַכָּתוּב מִתְּחִלָּה, וְכֵן אָמַר לוֹ "וַתַּחֲלֵף אֶת מַשְׂכֻּרְתִּי עֲשֶׂרֶת מֹנִים" (בראשית ל"א:מ"א). וְכָזֶה בִּמְקוֹמוֹת רַבִּים בַּתּוֹרָה, וּבַפָּרָשָׁה הַזֹּאת לְמַעְלָה לֹא סִפֵּר שֶׁנָּתְנָה לֵאָה אֶת הַדּוּדָאִים לְרָחֵל:
1AND YOUR FATHER HATH MOCKED ME, AND CHANGED MY WAGES TEN TIMES. This was true, even though Scripture did not previously relate it. And so too did Jacob tell Laban: And thou hast changed my wages ten times.177 There are many similar places in the Torah. For example, in this earlier section, Scripture did not relate that Leah gave the mandrakes to Rachel [although the event is referred to later in Verse 16: for I have hired thee with my son’s mandrakes].
