# Instead, I bore the loss of it
|

|
|
For Jacob to count Laban's dead animals as a loss from his own flock is spoken of as if it was a burden he would bear on his shoulders. AT: "Instead of counting it a loss from your flock, I counted it as a loss from my flock" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# There I was; in the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night
|
|

Suffering in the hot and cold temperatures is spoken of as if the temperatures were animals that were eating Jacob. AT: "I stayed with your flocks even during hottest part of the day and the coldest part of the night" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
