Chuàngshìjì 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.
