John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 31:26

Gen 31:26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives [taken] with the sword? Ver. 26. As captives taken with the sword. ] No such matter; but that the old churl must have somewhat to say: for Jacob had their goodwills to go with him: and besides, they were now his more than Laban’s. Jacob had them in marriage, and not in bondage: he carried them not as his captives, but companions. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 31:27

Gen 31:27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp? Ver. 27. That I might have sent thee away with mirth. ] A likely matter! but it is the hypocrite’s best now, to say the best. He durst do no other; for God had overawed him, and put his hook into his nostrils. Hypocrites are likened to "bulrushes," Isa 58:5 which are green and smooth; and he is curious to a... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 31:28

Gen 31:28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in [so] doing. Ver. 28. Thou hast now done foolishly. ] And yet he had done no more than God bade him do. Wretched men dare reprehend that which they do not comprehend. But if a wise man speak evil of thee, or to thee, endure him; if a fool, pardon him. Shake off reproaches and hard censures, as Paul did the viper; yea, in a holy scorn, laugh at them, as the wild ass doth at the horse and his... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 31:27

Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp - Not as Rebekah was sent away out of the same family above one hundred and twenty years before, with prayers and blessings, but with sport and merriment; which was a sign that religion was much decayed in the family. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 31:26

26. Laban said Laban opens the controversy, and his speech, both here (Genesis 31:26-30) and afterwards, (Genesis 31:43-44; Genesis 31:48-53,) and Jacob’s also, (in Genesis 31:36-42,) read like the fragments of an ancient poem. They have the rhythm and passion of poetry, and should be put in the poetic form. We render Laban’s speech thus: What hast thou done? And thou hast stolen my heart, And hast carried off my daughters As captives of the sword. Why didst thou hide thyself to flee? And... read more
