Is there any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?
Rachel and Leah use a question to emphasize that there is nothing left for their father to give. Alternate translation: "There is absolutely nothing left for us to inherit from our father." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
