6798. 'And it happened in [the course of] these many days' means after quite a number of changes of state. This is clear from the meaning of 'days' as states, dealt with in 23, 487, 488, 4893, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850, so that 'it happened in many days' means after quite a number of states or after quite a number of changes of state.

15 It happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.

16 The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin, neither had any man known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.
