Genesis 29:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 29:11

And Jacob kissed Rachel
Which he did in a way of courtesy and civility; this was done after he had acquainted her with his relation to her; he saluted her upon that:

and lifted up his voice, and wept;
for joy at the providence of God that had brought him so opportunely to the place, and at the sight of a person so nearly related to him; and who he hoped would be his wife, and was the person designed of God for him.

10 quam cum vidisset Iacob et sciret consobrinam suam ovesque Laban avunculi sui amovit lapidem quo puteus claudebatur

11 et adaquato grege osculatus est eam elevataque voce flevit

12 et indicavit ei quod frater esset patris eius et filius Rebeccae at illa festinans nuntiavit patri suo

13 qui cum audisset venisse Iacob filium sororis suae cucurrit obviam conplexusque eum et in oscula ruens duxit in domum suam auditis autem causis itineris
