John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 29:13

Verse 13 13.And he told Laban all these things. Since Laban had previously seen one of Abraham’s servants replenished with great wealth, an unfavourable opinion of his nephew might instantly enter into his mind: it was therefore necessary for holy Jacob to explain the causes of his own departure, and the reason why he had been sent away so contemptibly clothed. It is also probable that he had been instructed by his mother respecting the signs and marks by which he might convince them of his... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 29:14

Verse 14 14.And he abode with him the space of a month. Though Laban did not doubt that Jacob was his nephew by his sister, he nevertheless puts his character to trial during a month, and then treats with him respecting wages. Hence may be inferred the uprightness of the holy man; because he was not idle while with his uncle, but employed himself in honest labors, that he might not in idleness eat another’s bread for nothing; hence Laban is compelled to acknowledge that some reward beyond his... read more

Jacob at the well of Haran: a romantic adventure. I. JACOB 'S MEETING WITH THE SHEPHERDS . 1. The providential discovery . The well in the field with the three flocks of sheep lying by it enabled Jacob to ascertain his whereabouts, and ultimately led to his finding Rachel. God guides the steps of his people without interfering with the ordinary course of nature, simply directing them m the exercise of sense and intelligence; and doubtless Jacob recognized in his, lighting... read more

Jacob among his mother's kindred. Taught by experience to be patient. His own craft reflected in Laban. Lessons to be learned. I. THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TEACHING OF GOD IN THE INNER MAN AND HIS LEADINGS IN PROVIDENCE . Jacob learned what he needed to learn—dependence, self-humiliation. Saw the evil of selfishness; understood that the Divine purposes must not be identified in our thought with our personal feelings and desires. We must wait on God to know what... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 29:9

And while he yet spake with them (literally, he yet speaking with them ), Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them —or, she was a shepherdess, the part. רֹעָה being used as a substantive (Gesenius, 'Lex.,' sub. nom.). read more

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

And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings (literally, heard the hearing , or thing heard , i . e . the report of the arrival) of Jacob his sister's son, —he acted very much as he did ninety-seven years before, when Abraham's servant came to woo his sister ( Genesis 14:20 , 30)— that (literally, and) he ran to meet him, and embraced him ,—so afterwards Esau did Jacob ( Genesis 33:4 ), and Jacob the two sons of Joseph ( Genesis 48:10 )— and kissed him, and brought... read more
