There does not appear in all this concern the least taint of
worldly policy, or any of those motives which usually govern
men in the settlement of their children. No mention is made
of riches, or honours, or natural accomplishments, but merely
of what related to God.--Fuller.

# Ex 32:2,3 Isa 3:19-23 Eze 16:11,12
From the word being in the singular number, it is not likely
to have been an ear-ring, or a "jewel for the forehead," but
"a jewel for the nose, a nose-ring," which is in use
throughout Arabia and Persia, particularly among young women.
It is very properly translated [epirrinon,] "an ornament for
the nose," by Symmachus; and Sir John Chardin informs us, that
"it is a custom in almost all the East, for the women to wear
rings in their noses, in the left nostril, which is bored low
down in the middle. These rings are of gold, and have
commonly two pearls and one ruby between, placed in the ring.
I never saw a girl or young woman in Arabia or in all Persia,
who did not wear a ring after this manner in her nostril."
* of half.
# 23:15,16
* bracelets.
The word rendered "bracelet," from a root which signifies "to
join or couple together," may imply whatever may clasp round
the arms and legs; for rings and ornaments are worn round both
by females in India and Persia. The small part of the leg,
and the whole arm, from the shoulder to the wrist, are
generally decorated in this way. As these were given to
Rebekah for "her hands," it sufficiently distinguishes them
from similar ornaments for the ankles.

* her mother's.
Some have conjectured from this, that her father Bethuel was
dead; and the person called Bethuel, (ver. 50,) was a younger
brother. This is possible; but as Dr. A. Clarke remarks, the
mother's house might be mentioned were even the father alive;
for in Asiatic countries, the women have apartments entirely
separate from those of the men, in which their little children
and grown-up daughters reside with them. This was probably
the case here; though, from the whole narrative, it is very
probable that Bethuel was dead, as the whole business appears
to be conducted by Rebekah's brothers.

Straw, by the eastern mode of threshing, was cut or shattered,
and reduced to a kind of chaff. With this, sometimes mixed
with a little barley, the eastern people still feed their
labouring beasts, as they anciently did.

# 2-9 6:2 27:46 Ezr 9:1-3
* Canaanites.
The Canaanites were infected with gross idolatry; and
consequently, not proper persons with whom to form so intimate
a connection; especially as Jehovah had shown Abraham that
they were filling up the measure of their iniquity, and were
doomed to destruction.
08587
* But.
# 4 12:1
* my father's.
i.e., Where the family of Haran his brother had settled; and
where he himself had remained some time with his father Terah.
Nahor did not dwell at Ur of the Chaldees, but at Haran in
Mesopotamia. The true worship of God seems to have been in
some measure preserved in this family, though afterwards
corrupted.

* Peradventure.
We may see, says Calmet, by this and other passages of
Scripture, (Jos 9:18,) what the sentiments of the ancients
were relative to an oath. They believed that they were bound
precisely by what was spoken, and had no liberty to interpret
the intentions of those by whom the oath was made.

# 14 2:22 Pr 16:33 18:22 19:14
* appointed.
Those events, which appear to us the effect of choice,
contrivance, or chance, are matters of appointment with God;
and the persuasion of this does not prevent, but rather
encourage, the use of all proper means; at the same time that
it confines us to proper means, and delivers the mind from
useless anxiety about consequences.

These seem both to be brothers, of whom Laban was the eldest
and chief: the opinion of Josephus appears to be very
correct, that Bethuel, the father, had been dead some time.
