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 He said, "Praise the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has faithfully kept his promise to my master. The Lord has led me straight to my master's relatives."

28 The young woman ran to her mother's house and told the whole story.

29 Now Rebecca had a brother named Laban, and he ran outside to go to the well where Abraham's servant was.

30 Laban had seen the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister's arms and had heard her say what the man had told her. He went to Abraham's servant, who was standing by his camels at the well,

31 and said, "Come home with me. You are a man whom the Lord has blessed. Why are you standing out here? I have a room ready for you in my house, and there is a place for your camels."
