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.
