1. Compensation connected with service · dominant

   In Genesis 29:15, the construct-form noun occurs as Laban asks Jacob to state what is due for serving him; the APB renders the clause, "Tell me what your wage is." In Genesis 31:7 and Genesis 31:41, Jacob says that this compensation was changed ten times during his service. In Ruth 2:12, the construct form occurs in a blessing that the recompense from the LORD be full; the APB renders, "may your wages be full from the LORD."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "wage" in Genesis 29:15 and Genesis 31:7, "wages" in Genesis 31:41 and Ruth 2:12, and pairs it with "reward" in Ruth 2:12. These English terms confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than establish separate meanings.
