1). The Genesis Record, Henry M. Morris: Jacob and his family must actually have spent several years living in either Succoth or Shechem or both. The events described in chapter 34 presuppose that Leah's youngest child, Dinah (Genesis 30:21), must have been in her teens, which means that her older brothers, Reuben, Simeon, and Levi, must have been in their twenties. When they first moved to Succoth, Reuben was probably about twelve years old, so that the family must have lived at least ten years in Succoth and Shechem, mainly the latter. Though the text does not mention it, it seems likely that Jacob must have visited Isaac and Esau on various occasions during this period. Since Jacob at this time was the key personage involved in God’s plans, rather than either Isaac or Esau, evidently the writer felt it was unnecessary to include purely personal matters of this sort.

2). D.C.: Jacob returned to Canaan when he was 97, having spent 20 years in Padan-aram (Genesis 31:38). Add ten or more years of dwelling in the area, Jacob was probably 110, or 115 years old. Isaac would have been 170 or 175 years old (Genesis 25:24-26). Isaac lived until he was 180 years old (Genesis 35:28, 29).
