Génesis 31:17 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 31:17

Then Jacob rose up
And went with them to Laban's house, where his children were, as is plain from Rachel's theft, ( Genesis 31:19 ) : and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
which were his own, see ( Genesis 30:43 ) ; creatures fit for travelling; on these he set his wives, Rachel and Leah, and his concubine wives, Bilhah and Zilpah; for these went with him, as appears from ( Genesis 33:6 ) ( 35:22 ) ; and "his sons", or rather "his children": for they were not all sons, there was one daughter, and they were all young; his eldest son Reuben could not be much more than twelve years of age, and his youngest son Joseph about six.

Génesis 31:17 In-Context

15 Al contrario, nos ha tratado como si fu茅ramos extranjeras. Nos ha vendido, y se ha gastado todo lo que recibi贸 por nosotras.
16 Lo cierto es que toda la riqueza que Dios le ha quitado a nuestro padre es nuestra y de nuestros hijos. Por eso, haz ahora todo lo que Dios te ha ordenado.
17 Entonces Jacob se prepar贸 y mont贸 a sus hijos y a sus esposas en los camellos,
18 puso en marcha todo su ganado, junto con todos los bienes que hab铆a acumulado en Pad谩n Aram, y se dirigi贸 hacia la tierra de Cana谩n, donde viv铆a su padre Isaac.
19 Mientras Lab谩n estaba ausente esquilando sus ovejas, Raquel aprovech贸 el momento para robarse los 铆dolos familiares.
