Genesis 31:16
"For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

For all the riches which God hath taken from our father,.... And given to Jacob for his labour: that is ours, and our children's; it belonged to us by the

law of nature, before it came into thine hands; and our right unto it is still more manifest, and is confirmed by the service thou hast done for it, by which means it came into thy possession; and therefore it is no point of conscience with us, nor need it be any with thee especially, to go off with it: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do; for that must needs be right: this was well spoken indeed; they mean, that he should leave their father's house, and go into the land of Canaan, as God had directed him; and they signified that they were willing: to go along with him.
