Genesis 35:21

And Israel (or Jacob) journeyed (from Ephrath, after the funeral of Rachel), and spread — i.e. unfolded ( Genesis 12:8 ; Genesis 26:25 )— his tent beyond the tower of Edar —literally, to, i.e. not trans (Vulgate), ultra (Dathe), but ad, usque (Rosenmüller), as far as Migdol Edar, the Tower of the Flock—probably a turret, or watch-tower, erected for the convenience of shepherds in guarding their flocks ( 2 Kings 18:8 ; 2 Chronicles 26:10 ; 2 Chronicles 27:4 ),—the site of which is uncertain, but which is commonly supposed to have Been a mile (Jerome) or more south of Bethlehem." The LXX . omit this verse.
