라헬과 레아가 그에게 대답하여 가로되 우리가 우리 아버지 집에서 무슨 분깃이나 유업이나 있으리요
Midrash Tanchuma
What did they respond after Jacob told them this? Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him: “Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house? Are we not accounted by him strangers? For he hath sold us” (Gen. 31:14–15).
Bereshit Rabbah
“Rachel and Leah answered and said to him: Is there still a share or inheritance for us in our father's house?” (Genesis 31:14).
“Rachel and Leah answered and said to him” – why did Rachel die first? Rabbi Yudan and Rabbi Yosei, Rabbi Yudan said: Because she spoke before her sister. Rabbi Yosei said to him: ‘Have you ever seen a person call Reuben, and Simeon answer him? Did he not call Rachel, and Rachel answered him?’10Jacob called Rachel first, see Genesis 31:4. According to the opinion of Rabbi Yehuda,11Rabbi Yudan. it works out well. According to the opinion of Rabbi Yosei, she died only from the curse of the elder [Jacob], as it is stated: “With whomever you find your gods, he shall not live” (Genesis 31:32); it was “like an error that emerges from the ruler” (Ecclesiastes 10:5). “Rachel stole [the household idols that were her father’s]” (Genesis 31:19); “Rachel died…” (Genesis 35:19).
“Are we not considered foreigners by him, as he sold us, and he also consumed our silver?” (Genesis 31:15).
“Are we not considered foreigners by him, as he sold us…[consumed our silver?]” – is that possible?12That he forcibly took their belongings. Rather, if there was a fine sheep, he would take it. If there was a tasty dish, he would take it.13He was more subtle in taking their belongings.
