Now get up and leave this land at once, and return to your native land.’”¹⁴And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?¹⁵Are we not regarded by him as outsiders?

Summary

In this verse, Rachel and Leah express their frustration with their father Laban, highlighting his unfair treatment towards them. They recount how he has used up their dowry and treated them as strangers, despite being his daughters. This passage reveals the difficult circumstances faced by women in ancient times, where they were often subject to mistreatment and exploitation. It also sets the stage for Jacob's decision to leave Laban's household and return to his own land, as he recognizes the need to protect his family from further harm.

Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

The two wives naturally agreed with their husband, and declared that they had no longer any part or inheritance in their father's house. For he had not treated them as daughters, but sold them like strangers, i.e., servants. "And he has even constantly eaten our money," i.e., consumed the property brought to him by our service. The inf. abs. אכול after the finite verb expresses the continuation of the act, and is intensified by גם "yes, even." כּי in Gen 31:16 signifies "so that," as in Deu 14:24; Job 10:6.
