Gênesis 29:5 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 29:5

And he said unto them, know ye Laban the son of Nahor?
&c.] He was the son of Bethuel, and grandson of Nahor; grandsons being called the sons of their grandfather; and Nahor might be more known than Bethuel, Haran being Nahor's city, ( Genesis 24:10 ) ; and not Bethuel his mother's father, but Laban her brother is inquired after; perhaps Bethuel was dead, and Laban was the head of the family, and well known, and it was to him he was sent: and they said, we know him;
perfectly well; he lives in our city, and is our neighbour.

Gênesis 29:5 In-Context

3 Ajuntavam-se ali todos os rebanhos; os pastores removiam a pedra da boca do poço, davam de beber �s ovelhas e tornavam a pôr a pedra no seu lugar sobre a boca do poço.

4 Perguntou-lhes Jacó: Meus irmãos, donde sois? Responderam eles: Somos de Harã.

5 Perguntou-lhes mais: Conheceis a Labão, filho de Naor; Responderam: Conhecemos.

6 Perguntou-lhes ainda: vai ele bem? Responderam: Vai bem; e eis ali Raquel, sua filha, que vem chegando com as ovelhas.

7 Disse ele: Eis que ainda vai alto o dia; não é hora de se ajuntar o gado; dai de beber �s ovelhas, e ide apascentá-las.
