Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 1. - Then Jacob went on his journey (literally, lifted up his feet - a graphic description of traveling. Inspired by new hopes, and conscious of loftier aims than when he fled from Beersheba, the lonely furtive departed from Bethel), and came into the land of the people of the east - literally, the land of the sons of the east, i.e. Mesopotamia, about 450 miles distant from Beersheba.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersXXIX.MARRIAGE OF JACOB WITH LEAH AND RACHEL.(1) Jacob went on his journey.--Heb., Jacob lifted up his feet, that is, hastened forward. Confirmed in the possession of the birthright by God as well as man, and encouraged by the promise of the Divine presence, and of a safe return home, he casts no wistful glances back, but pursues his journey under the inspiriting influence of hope.The people of the East.--Usually the Arabians are designated by this phrase, but it here signifies the tribes who inhabited northern Mesopotamia.
