3792. 'While he was still speaking to them' means thought during that time. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking' in historical parts of the Word as thinking, dealt with in 2271, 2287, 2619. During that time is clearly the meaning, for it was during the actual time he was speaking to them, or what amounts to the same 'while he was still speaking to them' that Rachel came.
