Gênesis 31:14 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 31:14

And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him
One after another, and their answers agreeing, are put together; it may be Rachel answered in the name of Leah, and for herself, since she is mentioned first, and the verb is singular. The Targum of Jonathan is, Rachel answered with the consent of Leah; [is there] yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's
house?
it was what might have been justly expected, as they were his children, that they should have been used as such, and have had children's portions given them; but by the whole of Laban's attitude towards them, both at their marriage, and ever since, it was plain he never intended to give them anything; but kept all he had to himself, or designed it for his sons, and therefore it was in vain for them to hope for anything; signifying to Jacob hereby, that they were willing to leave their father's house, and go with him when he pleased, since they could expect nothing by their stay here.

Gênesis 31:14 In-Context

12 Prosseguiu o anjo: Levanta os teus olhos e vê que todos os bodes que cobrem o rebanho são listrados, salpicados e malhados; porque tenho visto tudo o que Labão te vem fazendo.
13 Eu sou o Deus de Betel, onde ungiste uma coluna, onde me fizeste um voto; levanta-te, pois, sai-te desta terra e volta para a terra da tua parentela.
14 Então lhe responderam Raquel e Léia: Temos nós ainda parte ou herança na casa de nosso pai?
15 Não somos tidas por ele como estrangeiras? pois nos vendeu, e consumiu todo o nosso preço.
16 Toda a riqueza que Deus tirou de nosso pai é nossa e de nossos filhos; portanto, faze tudo o que Deus te mandou.
