Genesis 31:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 31:14

12 And He said, ‘Lift your eyes now and see, all the rams which leap on the flocks are streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted; for ^aI have seen all that Laban is doing to you.

13 I am the God of Bethel, ^awhere you anointed the pillar and where you made a vow to Me. Now ^barise, get out of this land, and return to the land of your family.’ ”

14 Then Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, ^a“Is there still any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?

15 Are we not considered strangers by him? For ^ahe has sold us, and also completely consumed our money.

16 For all these riches which God has taken from our father are really ours and our children’s; now then, whatever God has said to you, do it.”

17 Then Jacob rose and set his sons and his wives on camels.

18 And he carried away all his livestock and all his possessions which he had gained, his acquired livestock which he had gained in Padan Aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land of ^aCanaan.
