Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) Rachel came with her father's sheep.--Comp. Exodus 2:16; and so in modern times Mr. Malan saw "the sheik's daughter, the beautiful and well-favoured Ladheefeh, drive her flock of fine patriarchal sheep" to a well for water in this very region (Philosophy or Truth, p. 95). As forty years at least elapsed between this meeting of Jacob and Rachel and the birth of Benjamin, she must have been a mere child at this time.
