Hasn’t he treated us like foreigners? He not only sold us, but completely wasted¹ the money paid for us!²

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “and he devoured, even devouring.” The infinitive absolute (following the finite verb here) is used for emphasis.

¹sn He sold us and…wasted our money. The precise nature of Rachel’s and Leah’s complaint is not entirely clear. Since Jacob had to work to pay for them, they probably mean that their father has cheated Jacob and therefore cheated them as well. See M. Burrows, “The Complaint of Laban’s Daughters,” JAOS 57 (1937): 250-76.

²tn 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.
