Génesis 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.

Génesis 31:14 In-Context

12 »El ángel dijo: “Levanta la vista, y verás que solamente los machos rayados, manchados y moteados se aparean con las hembras de tu rebaño. Pues he visto el modo en que Labán te ha tratado.

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.
