Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Is he well? - hashalom lo ? Is there peace to him? Peace among the Hebrews signified all kinds of prosperity. Is he a prosperous man in his family and in his property? And they said, He is well, shalom , he prospers.
Rachel - cometh with the sheep - rachel (the ch sounded strongly guttural) signifies a sheep or ewe; and she probably had her name from her fondness for these animals.
