Bible Comments

And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

Rachel and Leah answered. Having heard his views, they expressed their entire approval; and, from grievances of their own, were fully as desirous of a separation as himself. They display not only conjugal affection, but piety, in following the course described - "whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do." 'Those that are really their husbands' helps-meet will never be their hindrances in doing that to which God calls them' (Henry).
