Genesis 31:15 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Are we not confuted of him strangers? as if we had no more right to his estate than strangers? Instead of a good part of his estate, which by the law of God and nature belongs to us, 2 Corinthians 12:14, wherewith he should have endowed us upon our marriage, he hath made sale of us for this fourteen years hard service, seeking only his own, not our advantage. He hath not only withheld from us, but spent upon himself, that money which he got by thy care and industry, whereof a considerable part was due in equity to us and to our children.

Genesis 31:15

15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.
