      1  Jacob, displeased with the envy of Laban and his sons,
        departs secretly.
    19  Rachel steals her father's images.
    22  Laban pursues after him, and complains of the wrong.
    34  Rachel's stratagem to hide the images.
    36  Jacob's complaint of Laban.
    43  The covenant of Laban and Jacob at Galeed.
    
    
    VERSE 1
    - Jacob.
       * :8,9 Job 31:31 Ps 57:4; 64:3,4; 120:3-5 Pr 14:30; 27:4 Ec 4:4
       * Eze 16:44 Tit 3:3
    - glory.
      'Glory' is here used for 'wealth,' riches, or property; since
      those who possess riches, generally make them the subject of
      glory.  The original word cavod, signifies both 'glory' and
      'weight.'
    
       * Ge 45:13 Es 5:11 Job 31:24,25 Ps 17:14; 49:16,17 Ec 4:4 Isa 5:14

       * :13,18; 13:15; 26:3-5; 28:4,13,15; 30:25
    - with thee.
       * Ge 21:22; 26:24; 28:15; 32:9 Isa 41:10 Heb 13:5
    
    VERSE 4
    
    
    VERSE 5 
     - I see.

    VERSE 7 
     - ten times.
      The Hebrew, asereth monim, is literally, as Aquila renders,
      'ten numbers;' and Symmachus, 'ten times in number;' which
      probably implies an indefinite number:  see ver. 41.
    
       * Le 26:26 Nu 14:22 Ne 4:12 Job 19:8 Isa 4:1 Zec 8:23
    - God.
       * :29; 20:6 Job 1:10 Ps 37:28; 105:14,15 Isa 54:17
    
    VERSE 8
        * Ge 30:32
    
    VERSE 9
        * :1,16 Es 8:1,2 Ps 50:10 Pr 13:22 Mt 20:15
    
    
    VERSE 10 
     - a dream.
       * :24; 20:6; 28:12 Nu 12:6 De 13:1 1Ki 3:5
    - rams.  or, he-goats.  ringstraked.
       * Ge 30:39
    - grisled.
      The original word, beroodim, from barad, 'hail' means marked
      with white spots like hail; to which our word grisled, from
      the old french gresle, now grele, hail, perfectly agrees;
      hence gresle, spotted with white on a dark ground.
    
    
    VERSE 11 
     - the angel.
       * :5,13; 16:7-13; 18:1,17; 48:15,16

       * Ho 3:4
      These might have been images devoted to superstitious or
      idolatrous purposes, as they are termed gods by Laban, in ver.
      30.  The Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan render it,
      tzalmanaya, 'images;' the LXX. and Theodoret, [eidolon <1497,]
      'idols;' Aquilla, [morphomata,] 'figures;' and the Persian,
      asterlabha, 'astrolabes.'

     - unawares to Laban.  Heb. the heart of Laban.  See references

      This was rash, and might have produced fatal effects; but
      Jacob was partial to Rachel, and did not suspect her; and he
      was indignant at being accused of a crime which he deeply
      abhorred.  Scott.
    
       * :19,30; 44:9-12
    - before.

    VERSE 34 
     - had taken.
       * :17,19
    - furniture.
      The word, car, rendered 'furniture,' properly denotes 'a large
      round pannier,' placed one on each side of a camel, for a
      person, especially women, to ride in.  It is a hamper, like a
      cradle, having a back, head, and sides, like a great chair.
      Moryson describes them as 'two long chairs like cradles,
      covered with red cloth, to hang on the two sides of the
      camel.'  Hanway calls them kedgavays, which 'are a kind of
      covered chairs, which the Persians hang over their camels in
      the manner of panniers, and are big enough for one person to
      sit in.'  Thevenot, who calls then counes, says that they lay
      over them a cover, which keeps then both from the rain and
      sun; and Maillet describes them as covered cages, hanging on
      each side of a camel.  The late Editor of Calmet has furnished
      a correct delineation of these cars, as seen on one side of a
      camel, copied from Dalton's Prints of Egyptian Figures.

    - a witness.
       * :48,52; 21:30 De 31:19,21,26 Jos 22:27; 24:25-27
      God can put a bridle into the mouth of wicked man to restrain
      their malice; and then, though they have no love for his
      people, they will pretend to it, and try to make a merit of
      necessity.  Scott.
    
    VERSE 45
        * Ge 28:18-22
    
    
    VERSE 46 
     - brethren.

    - Gather.
       * Jos 4:5-9,20-24; 7:26 2Sa 18:17 Ec 3:5
    - an heap.
      The word gal, rendered 'heap,' properly signifies a round heap
      or circle; probably like the Druidical remains in this
      country, which have been traced in India, Persia, Western
      Asia, Greece, and Northern Europe.  These usually consist of
      irregular circles of large stones, with a principal one in the
      midst; the former probably being used for seats, and the
      latter for an altar; corresponding to the stone set up as a
      pillar by Jacob, and the heap of stones collected by his
      brethren.  They appear to have been used, as Gilgal
      undoubtedly was, (Jos. 5 4:5; Ju. 1 2:1; 19 3:19; ch. 20.  1Sa. 16 7:16;
      8 10:8, 17; 15 11:15; 7 13:7; 33 15:33.  2Sa. 15 19:15, 40.  2Ki. 1 2:1.) as
      temples, and as places for holding councils, and assembling
      the people.  For a satisfactory elucidation of this subject,
      consult the Fragments to Calmet, Nos. 156, 735, 736.
    
    
    VERSE 47 
     - Jegar-sahadutha.  i.e., the heap of witness.  Chald.  Galeed.

    VERSE 51 
     - I have cast.
      For yarithi, 'I have set up,' we may read yaritha, 'Thou hast
