Génesis 31:28 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 31:28

And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters?
&c.] Did not give him an opportunity of taking his farewell, which used to be done with a kiss, as it is with us at this day: by his sons he means his grandsons, and so the Targum of Jonathan, my daughters' sons; and by his daughters Rachel and Leah, and Dinah his granddaughter: thou hast done foolishly in [so] doing:
since, as he would have him believe that he was both a loser by this step he took, and exposed himself to danger, seeing it was in the power of Laban to do him hurt, as in ( Genesis 31:29 ) ; but Jacob knew what he did, and that it was the wisest part to follow the direction of God.

Génesis 31:28 In-Context

26 y le reclamó a Jacob:—¿Qué has hecho? ¡Me has engañado, y te has llevado a mis hijas como si fueran prisioneras de guerra!

27 ¿Por qué has huido en secreto, con engaños y sin decirme nada? Yo te habría despedido con alegría, y con música de tambores y de arpa.

28 Ni siquiera me dejaste besar a mis hijas y a mis nietos. ¡Te has comportado como un necio!

29 Mi poder es más que suficiente para hacerles daño, pero anoche el Dios de tu padre me habló y me dijo: “¡Cuidado con amenazar a Jacob!”

30 Ahora bien, entiendo que hayas querido irte porque añoras la casa de tu padre, pero, ¿por qué me robaste mis dioses?
