무릇 속담하는 자가 네게 대하여 속담하기를 어미가 어떠하면 딸도 그렇다 하리라

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.
