Gênesis 29:12 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 29:12

And Jacob told Rachel
Or "had told" F9 her; before he kissed her, and lift up his voice and wept, as Aben Ezra observes:

that he [was] her father's brother;
his nephew by his sister, for such were sometimes called brethren, as Lot, Abraham's brother's son, is called his brother, ( Genesis 14:12 Genesis 14:14 Genesis 14:16 ) :

and that he [was] Rebekah's son;
sister to her father, and aunt to her, and whose name and relation she doubtless knew full well:

and she ran and told her father;
leaving the care of her flock with Jacob; Rebekah, in a like case, ran and told her mother, ( Genesis 24:28 ) , which is most usual for daughters to do; but here Rachel runs and tells her father, her mother very probably being dead, as say the Jewish writers F11.

12 Então contou a Raquel que era parente do pai dela e filho de Rebeca. E ela foi correndo contar tudo a seu pai.
13 Logo que Labão ouviu as notícias acerca de Jacó, seu sobrinho, correu ao seu encontro, abraçou-o e o beijou. Depois, levou-o para casa, e Jacó contou-lhe tudo o que havia ocorrido.
14 Então Labão lhe disse: “Você é sangue do meu sangue”.Já fazia um mês que Jacó estava na casa de Labão,
