Bereshis 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:

Bereshis 24:29 In-Context

27 And he said, Baruch Hashem Elohei adoni Avraham, who hath not left destitute of His chesed and His emes; I being on the derech, Hashem led me to the bais achei adoni.

28 And the na’arah ran, and told them of her bais em these things.

29 And Rivkah had an ach, shmo Lavan; Lavan ran out unto the ish, unto the ayin.

30 And it came to pass, when he saw the nezem and tzemidim upon the wrists of his achot, and when he heard the words of Rivkah his achot, saying, Thus spoke the ish unto me; that he came unto the ish; and, hinei, he stood by the gemalim at the ayin.

31 And he said, Come in, Baruch Hashem; why standest thou outside? for I have prepared the bais, and makom for the gemalim.
