Haydock's commentary
Gotten. Hebrew expresses over again, the cattle of his getting, &c., which is omitted in one manuscript, as well as in the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions, though yet used in the Samaritan copy. (Kennicott)
To Isaac, who was still living, though he had apprehended death was at hand 20 years before. He continued to live other 20 years after. (Salien)
Jacob spent about 10 years at Sichem and at Bethel, before he went to dwell with Isaac. (Menochius)
