Genesis 31:1 meaning and explanation
Now Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, “Jacob has taken away all that belonged to our father and built all this wealth at our father’s expense.”
Genesis 31:1, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Jacob has spent twenty years serving his uncle Laban in Paddan-aram, and the narrator now turns to the resentment building in Laban's family. Laban's sons accuse Jacob of building his wealth at their father's expense, though earlier chapters show Laban repeatedly changing Jacob's wages and God blessing Jacob in spite of it.
