F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 29:1-20

Jacob in Laban’s Home Genesis 29:1-20 Well might Jacob lift up his feet! See margin. When we are sure of God we receive strength that enables us to run with patience the race that is set before us. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and we have a special claim on His guidance in our matrimonial alliances-the most solemn and momentous step of all. There were many good qualities in Rachel, fitting her to be a good wife. Her humility and industry, her patience under the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 29:1-35

Pursuing his journey after his experience at Luz, now called Beth-el, Jacob came into "the land of the children of the east." Here the next twenty years of his life were to be spent, during which he amassed his wealth. As presently he himself said, he went out carrying only his staff: "With my staff I passed over this Jordan" ( Gen 32:10 ). When he returned, he was wealthy, as his words, again interpreted by the time and place, reveal, ". . . and now I am become two companies." At this point... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 29:4-6

‘And Jacob said to them, “My brothers, from where are you?” And they said, “We are from Haran.” And he said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” And they said, “We know him.” And he said to them, “Is it well with him?” And they said, “It is well, and look, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep.” Although it is still before evening three flocks have already gathered there. So by questioning their keepers Jacob discovers he has arrived at his destination, Haran, and asks after... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 29:1-30

Genesis 29:1-Amos : . Jacob Serves Seven Years for Rachel. Laban Substitutes Leah and Secures Fourteen Years’ Service in Exchange for the Two.— Apart from bits of P ( Genesis 29:24; Genesis 29:28 b, Genesis 29:29) the section belongs to JE. Analysis is very uncertain. Probably Genesis 29:1 is from E, Genesis 29:2-2 Chronicles : from J. Opinions differ as to Genesis 29:15-Amos :; for our purpose further analysis is unnecessary.Jacob comes in his journey to a well, and finds three flocks... read more

He calls them my brethren, partly in token of respect and affection, and partly because they were of the same nature and employment with himself. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 29:6

According to the manner of those times, Exodus 2:16; Song of Solomon 1:7,Song of Solomon 1:8, when humility, innocency, simplicity, and industry were in fashion, both among men and women of great quality. There are some that quarrel with the Scripture, and question the truth of such relations, because they judge of the state of ancient times and things by the present age, whereby they discover great folly and deep ignorance of the state of former ages. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 29:1-14

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 29:1. Went on his journey.] Heb. Lifted up his feet. (See Psalms 74:3.) The idea is that he journeyed with alacrity. Rashi, the Jewish commentator, says, “his heart was elated, and his feet felt light.” Came into the land of the people of the East. Mesopotamia, east of Palestine.—Genesis 29:2. A well in the field.] “This well is apparently not the same as that in Chron. Genesis 24:11, etc. It seems to be further from the city, and different in its management. This well... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 29:1-35

Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the people of the east. And he looked, behold there was a well in the field, and, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth. And all of the flocks were gathered together here: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in this place. And Jacob said unto the young people that... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 29:1-35

Genesis 29:1. Jacob went on his journey. Our version fails here to express the lively sense of the Hebrew, as in most versions. Levabit pedes; he tripped along with light feet, being now assured that all the promised righteousness would in due course fall to his lot. Genesis 29:6. Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. Such was the state of primitive society. Exercise brought the boon of health, strength, and long life. Why should our daughters be nuns in their father’s house? But... read more

He who casts his burden upon the Lord ceases to weary himself, and finds that even labour is rest and pain is sweet. II. THAT PROVIDENCE WAS STILL HIS GUIDE.
