SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:15
¿No nos tiene ya como por extrañas, pues que nos vendió, y aun se ha comido del todo nuestro precio?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 31:15
Verse 15. Are we not counted of him strangers?] Rachel and Leah, who well knew the disposition of their father, gave him here his true character. He has treated us as strangers ] as slaves whom he had a right to dispose of as he pleased; in consequence, he hath sold us - disposed of us on the mere principle of gaining by the sale.
And hath quite devoured also our money.] Has applied to his own use the profits of the sale, and has allowed us neither portion nor inheritance.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-21 - The affairs of these families are related very minutely, while (what are called) the great events of states and kingdoms at that period, ar not mentioned. The Bible teaches people the common duties of life, ho to serve God, how to enjoy the blessings he bestows, and to do good in the various stations and duties of life. Selfish men conside themselves robbed of all that goes past them, and covetousness wil even swallow up natural affection. Men's overvaluing worldly wealth in that error which is the root of covetousness, envy, and all evil. The men of the world stand in each other's way, and every one seems to be taking away from the rest; hence discontent, envy, and discord. But there are possessions that will suffice for all; happy they who see them in the first place. In all our removals we should have respect to the command and promise of God. If He be with us, we need not fear. The perils which surround us are so many, that nothing else can reall encourage our hearts. To remember favoured seasons of communion with God, is very refreshing when in difficulties; and we should ofte recollect our vows, that we fail not to fulfil them.
