Commentary
Then Jacob rose up,.... And went with them to Laban's house, where his children were, as is plain from Rachel's theft,
Gen 31:19
,
and set his sons and his wives upon camels; which were his own, see
Gen 30:43
; creatures fit for travelling; on these he set his wives, Rachel and Leah, and his concubine wives, Bilhah and Zilpah; for these went with him, as appears from
Gen 33:6
; and "his sons", or rather "his children": for they were not all sons, there was one daughter, and they were all young; his eldest son Reuben could not be much more than twelve years of age, and his youngest son Joseph about six.
