“The God of Abraham, and the god of Naḥor, the god of their father, will judge between us. Jacob took an oath by the Fear of his father Isaac” (Genesis 31:53). “The God of Abraham” – sacred, “and the god of Naḥor” – profane, “the god of their father” – its connotation is both sacred and profane. “Jacob slaughtered for a feast on the mountain, and summoned his brethren to eat bread.
They ate bread and stayed the night on the mountain” (Genesis 31:54). “Laban awoke early in the morning, kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban went and returned to his place” (Genesis 32:1). “Jacob slaughtered for a feast on the mountain…Laban awoke early in the morning…and blessed them…” – Rabbi Aivu said: They were miserable and deprived against their will, and they gave gifts only with their words.
That is what is written: …“Laban awoke early in the morning.”45He was unsentimental regarding his daughters and grandchildren, and could not wait to leave. “Laban went and returned to his place” – to his evil ways. It teaches that robbers entered his house and were vandalizing in it all night.46This is expounded from the fact that the verse said that he went to his place and not to his house.
