Genesis 24:62 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:62

And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi
The well at which the angel met with Hagar, when she fled from her mistress, ( Genesis 16:7 Genesis 16:14 ) . The Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem say, that Isaac came from the school of Shem the great: for he dwelt in the south country:
at Beersheba, to which Abraham, it seems, was returned again; for that they dwelt together as yet, is clear from his mother Sarah's tent, into which he introduced Rebekah, ( Genesis 24:67 ) ; see ( Genesis 22:19 ) .
