Genesis 29:6

And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.

And he said unto them, Is he well?.... In good health, he and his family, or "is peace unto him" {b}; does he enjoy prosperity and happiness? for this word was used in the eastern nations, and still is, for all kind of felicity:

And they said, He is well; or has peace; he and his family are in good health, enjoying all the comforts and blessings of life:

and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep; at that very instant she was coming out of the city with her father's flock of sheep, to water them at the well; an instance of great humility, diligence, and simplicity; this was very providential to Jacob.
