Génesis 31:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 31:15

Are we not accounted of him strangers?
&c.] He had not treated them as children, nor even as freeborn persons; but as if they were foreigners that he had taken in war, or bought of others; or at least, that they were born bondmaids in his house, and so had a right to sell them as he had: for he hath sold us;
he had sold them to Jacob for fourteen years' service, as if they had been his slaves, instead of giving dowries with them as his children: and hath quite devoured also our money;
that which he got by the servitude of Jacob, instead of giving it to them as their portion; he spent it on himself and his sons, and there was nothing left for them.

Génesis 31:15 In-Context

13 Yo soy el Dios que se te apareció en Betel,
el lugar donde ungiste la columna de piedra y me hiciste el voto. Ahora prepárate, sal de este país y regresa a la tierra donde naciste”.

14 Raquel y Lea respondieron:
—¡Por nuestra parte está bien! De todos modos, nosotras no heredaremos nada de las riquezas de nuestro padre.

15 Él ha reducido nuestros derechos a los mismos que tienen las mujeres extranjeras, y después de habernos vendido, derrochó el dinero que tú le pagaste por nosotras.

16 Toda la riqueza que Dios le ha quitado a nuestro padre y te ha dado a ti nos pertenece legalmente a nosotras y a nuestros hijos. Así que, adelante, haz todo lo que Dios te ha dicho.

17 Entonces Jacob hizo que sus esposas y sus hijos subieran a los camellos
