Certes, tous les faiseurs de proverbes t’appliqueront le proverbe que voici: "Telle mère, telle fille!"
Dirshuni I
There are those who explain this verse 'like mother like daughter', and those who explain 'like father like daughter'. Like mother, as it says "And Leah went out to greet him" (Bereishit 30:16). Just as this one went to greet her husband regarding a mitzvah matter, this one went out to shidduchim [matches]. Like father, as it says "And Ya'akov went out" (Bereishit 28:10). Just as this one went out into what belonged to his brother Eisav, so too this one went out into what belonged to her brothers, to find herself a place.
