Genesis 29:6 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 29:6

And he said unto them, [is] he well?
&c.] In good health, he and his family, or "is peace unto him" F2; does he enjoy prosperity and happiness? for this word was used in the eastern nations, and still is, for all kind of felicity: and they said, [he is] well;
or has peace; he and his family are in good health, enjoying all the comforts and blessings of life: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep;
at that very instant she was coming out of the city with her father's flock of sheep, to water them at the well; an instance of great humility, diligence, and simplicity; this was very providential to Jacob.

4 Toen zeide Jakob tot hen: Mijn broeders! van waar zijt gij? En zij zeiden: Wij zijn van Haran.
5 En hij zeide tot hen: Kent gij Laban, den zoon van Nahor? En zij zeiden: Wij kennen hem.
6 Voorts zeide hij tot hen: Is het wel met hem? En zij zeiden: Het is wel; en zie, Rachel, zijn dochter, komt met de schapen.
7 En hij zeide: Ziet, het is nog hoog dag, het is geen tijd, dat het vee verzameld worde; drenkt de schapen, en gaat heen, weidt dezelve.
8 Toen zeiden zij: Wij kunnen niet, totdat al de kudden samen zullen vergaderd zijn, en dat men den steen van den mond des puts afwentele, opdat wij de schapen drenken.
