Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. And he gave these wells the same names his father had given them.
Commentary on Genesis 26:18–222 voices
And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
In the days of Abraham - Instead of בימי bimey, in the days, Houbigant contends we should read עבדי abdey, servants. Isaac dug again the wells which the servants of Abraham his father had dug. This reading is supported by the Samaritan, Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate; and it is probably the true one.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Genesis 26:20

- Exodus 20:17
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Commentary on Exodus 20:171 voice
Love of money then is an old, an ancient vice, which showed itself even at the declaration of the divine law; for a law was given to check it.
Ambrose of Milan· On the Duties of the Clergy 2.26.130, 397Patristic
- Exodus 21:4
If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
Commentary on Exodus 21:42 voices
If his master have given him a wife,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The wife and her children shall be her masters - It was a law among the Hebrews, that if a Hebrew had children by a Canannitish woman, those children must be considered as Canaanitish only, and might be sold and bought, and serve for ever. The law here refers to such a case only.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical

- Exodus 22:10–15
If a man gives a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any other animal to be cared for by his neighbor, but it dies or is injured or stolen while no one is watching,
Commentary on Exodus 22:10–152 voices
If a man deliver to his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast to keep,.... And he keeps it without a reward, as the Targum of Jonathan; but Jarchi and Aben Ezra more rightly interpret this of one that keeps for hire, as herdsmen, shepherds, &c.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
This law appears to relate chiefly to herdsmen employed by the owners of cattle. When an animal was stolen Exo 22:12, it was presumed either that the herdsman might have prevented it, or that he could find the thief and bring him to justice (see Exo 22:4). When an animal was killed by a wild beast, the keeper had to produce the mangled carcass, not only in proof of the fact, but to show that he had, by his vigilance and courage, deprived the wild beast of its prey.

- Leviticus 6:3
or finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely, or if he commits any such sin that a man might commit—
Commentary on Leviticus 6:32 voices
Have found that which was lost - The Roman lawyers laid it down as a sound maxim of jurisprudence, that he who found any property and applied it to his own use, should be considered as a thief whether he knew the owner or not; for in their view the crime was not lessened, supposing the finder was totally ignorant of the right owner. Qui alienum quid jacens lucri faciendi causa sustulit, furti obstringitur, sive scit, cujus sit, sive ignoravit; nihil enim ad furtum minuendum, facit, quod, cujus sit, ignoret - Digestor, lib. xlvii., Tit. ii., de furtis, Leg. xliii., sec.

- Leviticus 25:29
If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains his right of redemption until a full year after its sale; during that year it may be redeemed.
Commentary on Leviticus 25:292 voices
And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Sell a dwelling house in a walled city - A very proper difference is put between houses in a city and houses in the country. If a man sold his house in the city, he might redeem it any time in the course of a year; but if it were not redeemed within that time, it could no more be redeemed, nor did it go out even in the jubilee.
