Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

31:15 he hath sold us. Leah and Rachel revealed here that they had long resented the way their father had “sold” them to Jacob. The exorbitant price extracted from Jacob–fourteen years’ free labor–made them love Jacob but resent Laban. Furthermore, instead of using this payment like a dowry, to provide a base for his daughters’ future financial security, he had given nothing to them personally.
