¹⁴Rachel and Leah said to Jacob:

There's nothing left for us to inherit from our father. ¹⁵He treats us like foreigners and has even cheated us out of the bride price^[b] that should have been ours.

31.13 you … Bethel: Or “who appeared to you at Bethel.”
31.15 bride price: Usually the husband-to-be paid a bride price to the father of the bride. But Jacob didn't pay Laban a bride price for either Rachel or Leah. Instead he was tricked into working 14 years to get the bride he loved. So there was no money for either of Laban's daughters.
