       * Ps 23:2 So 1:6,7 Isa 49:10 Re 7:17
    - a great stone.
      In Arabia, and other places in the East, they cover up their
      wells of water, lest the sand, which is put in motion by the
      winds, should fill and quite stop them up.  So great was their
      care not to leave the well open any length of time, that they
      waited till the flocks were all gathered together before they
      began to draw water; and when they had finished, the well was
      immediately closed again.
    
    
    VERSE 3 
     - the flocks.
      Instead of haadarim, 'the flocks,' the Samaritan reads haroin,
      'the shepherds,' as does also the Arabic in Walton's
      Polyglott.  This verse describes what was usually done by some
      mutual compact among the shepherds, and shows the purpose for
      which the flocks lay by the well; for the stone was not
      removed till all the flocks had been collected.  Scott.

    - for she kept them.
      In those primitive times, a pastoral life was not only
      considered useful but honorable:  nor was it beneath the
      dignity of the daughters of the most opulent chiefs to carry
      water from the well, or tend the sheep.  Jacob, Moses, and
      David were shepherds.

      In ancient times, it was a custom among many nations to give
      dowries for their wives; but Jacob, being poor, offered for
      Rachel seven year's service.

       * :20
    
    
    VERSE 28 
     - fulfilled her week.
      The public marriage feast made on this occasion, seems to have
      formed the regular method of recognising the marriage, and
      lasted seven days:  it would therefore have been improper to
      have broken off the solemnities to which all the men of the
      place had been invited (ver. 22) and probably Laban wished to
      keep the fraud from the public eye.  It is perfectly plain
      that Jacob did not serve seven years more before he got Rachel
      to wife.
