Genesis 37:1 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. Wherein his father was a stranger - מגורי אביו megurey abiv, Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojournings, as the margin very properly reads it. The place was probably the vale of Hebron, see Genesis 37:14.
