Charles Ellicott Commentary Genesis 29:9

"While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father`s sheep. For she kept them." — Genesis 29:9 (ASV)

Rachel came with her father’s sheep. — Compare to Exodus 2:16; and so in modern times Mr. Malan saw “the sheik’s daughter, the beautiful and well-favoured Ladheefeh, drive her flock of fine patriarchal sheep” to a well for water in this very region (Philosophy or Truth, p. 95). As forty years at least elapsed between this meeting of Jacob and Rachel and the birth of Benjamin, she must have been a mere child at this time.
