Genesis 29:2

Study

       

2 He looked, and behold, a well in the field, and, behold, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well's mouth was large.

3777. 'And they said, We are from Haran' means good that springs from a common stock. This is clear from the meaning of 'Haran' as a parallel good that springs from a common stock, dealt with in 3612.
