And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother ,—"the term mother's brother is not unintentionally repeated three times in this verse to describe with the greatest possible stress that Jacob had met with his own relations, with "his bone and his flesh" (Kalisch)— and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother (Jacob from the first takes particular notice of Laban's flock, perhaps regarding them as a sign of Laban's wealth. If Laban's daughter had her... read more

And Jacob kissed Rachel ,—in demonstration of his cousinly affection. If Jacob had not yet discovered who he was to the fair shepherdess, his behavior must have filled her with surprise, even allowing for the unaffected simplicity of the times; but the fact that she does not resent his conduct as an undue liberty perhaps suggests that he had first informed her of his relationship to the inmates of Laban's house (Calvin). On kissing vide Genesis 27:26 — and lifted up his voice, and wept ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 29:12

And Jacob told (or, had told, ut supra ) Rachel that he was her father's brother, —as Lot is called Abraham's brother, though in reality his nephew ( Genesis 13:8 ; Genesis 14:14 , Genesis 14:16 )— and that he was Rebekah's son (this clause would explain the meaning of the term "brother in the former): and she ran and told her father . Like Rebekah, believing the stranger's words and running to report them, though, unlike Rebekah, first relating them to her father (cf. Genesis... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 29:9

Genesis 29:9. For she kept them Having, no doubt, servants under her who performed the meaner and more laborious offices, and whom it was her place to oversee. When Jacob understood that this was his kinswoman Rachel, (for he had probably heard of her name before,) knowing what his errand was into that country, we may suppose it occurred to his mind immediately, that this must be his wife. As one already smitten with an honest, comely face, (though it is likely sun-burnt, and she in the... read more

28:10-36:43 JACOB ESTABLISHES THE FAMILYJacob’s marriages (28:10-29:30)Before Jacob left Canaan, God appeared to him in a dream. In spite of Jacob’s shameful behaviour, God repeated to him the covenant promises given earlier to Abraham and Isaac, promising also to bring him back safely to Canaan (10-15; cf. 12:1-3; 26:24).
