He heard the words of Laban's sons For it seems they spoke them in Jacob's hearing. The last chapter began with Rachel's envying Leah; this begins with Laban's sons envying Jacob. Hath taken away all that was our father's Not all, sure: what was become of those cattle which were committed to the custody of Laban's sons, and sent three days' journey off?

But they meant wealth, which the possessors usually glory in, and whereby they gain much esteem from others.
