Génesis 31:16 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 31:16

For all the riches which God hath taken from our father
And given to Jacob for his labour: that [is] ours, and our children's;
it belonged to us by the law of nature, before it came into thine hands; and our right unto it is still more manifest, and is confirmed by the service thou hast done for it, by which means it came into thy possession; and therefore it is no point of conscience with us, nor need it be any with thee especially, to go off with it: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do;
for that must needs be right: this was well spoken indeed; they mean, that he should leave their father's house, and go into the land of Canaan, as God had directed him; and they signified that they were willing: to go along with him.

Génesis 31:16 In-Context

14 Y Raquel y Lea respondieron, y le dijeron: ¿Tenemos todavía nosotras parte o herencia alguna en la casa de nuestro padre?
15 ¿No nos ha tratado como extranjeras? Pues nos ha vendido, y también ha consumido por completo el precio de nuestra compra.
16 Ciertamente, toda la riqueza que Dios ha quitado de nuestro padre es nuestra y de nuestros hijos; ahora pues, todo lo que Dios te ha dicho, hazlo.
17 Entonces Jacob se levantó, montó a sus hijos y a sus mujeres en los camellos,
18 y puso en camino todo su ganado y todas las posesiones que había acumulado, el ganado adquirido que había acumulado en Padán-aram, para ir a Isaac su padre, a la tierra de Canaán.
