Genesis 31:15

31:15 Hasn’t he treated us like foreigners? He not only sold us, but completely wasted the money paid for us!

tn Heb “and he devoured, even devouring.” The infinitive absolute (following the finite verb here) is used for emphasis.

tn Heb “our money.” The word “money” is used figuratively here; it means the price paid for Leah and Rachel. A literal translation (“our money”) makes it sound as if Laban wasted money that belonged to Rachel and Leah, rather than the money paid for them.
