Genesis 24:29 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:29

And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban
Perhaps he was her only brother, or however the elder brother, the principal in the family, her father Bethuel being old: and Laban ran out:
out of his house, and out of the city of Haran: unto the man unto the well;
this was after Rebekah had got home, and had related to the family whom she had met with at the well, and what had passed between them, as follows:

Genesis 24:29 In-Context

27 and said, "Praise the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld His kindness and faithfulness from my master. As for me, the Lord has led me on the journey to the house of my master's relatives."

28 The girl ran and told her mother's household about these things.

29 Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and Laban ran out to the man at the spring.

30 As soon as he had seen the ring, and the bracelets on his sister's wrists, and when he had heard his sister Rebekah's words-"The man said this to me!"-he went to the man. He was standing there by the camels at the spring.

31 Laban said, "Come, you who are blessed by the Lord. Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels."
