Genesis 28:10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.

Genesis 28:10 Then Jacob departed from Beersheba and went toward Haran.

10. Jacob went out, &c.--His departure from his father's house was an ignominious flight; and for fear of being pursued or waylaid by his vindictive brother, he did not take the common road, but went by lonely and unfrequented paths, which increased the length and dangers of the journey.
