Daughters of Laban at the well. Laban first appears in the Hebrew Bible in Genesis 24:29–60 as the grown spokesman for his father Bethuel's house; he was impressed by the gold jewelry given to his sister on behalf of Isaac, and played a key part in arranging their marriage. Twenty years later, Laban's nephew Jacob was born to Isaac and Rebekah.
Laban called the heap as a witness between him and Jacob, and invoked God to watch, when they were apart, if Jacob would afflict Laban's daughters and take other wives. And Laban designated the heap and the pillar as a boundary between him and Jacob; Laban would not pass over it to Jacob, and Jacob would not pass over it to Laban, to do harm.
Laban gave Rotheus a wife named Euna, who was the girls' mother. [5] On the other hand, the early rabbinical commentary Pirkei De-Rabbi Eliezer and other rabbinic sources ( Midrash Rabba and elsewhere) state that Bilhah and Zilpah were also Laban's daughters, through his concubines, which would make them half-sisters to Rachel and Leah.
Laban and Jacob make a covenant together, as narrated in Genesis 31:44–54. Mizpah (מִצְפָּה miṣpāh, mitspah) is Hebrew for "watchtower". It is mentioned in the biblical story of Jacob and Laban, where a pile of stones marks an agreement between two people, with God as their watching witness. [1]
After discussion, the two agreed to recognize the separation,Laban saying that his daughters voluntarily left, and "(W)hat can I do to these daughters or to the children which they have bore?" Genesis 31:43. He agreed to let Jacob go in peace, but exacted a promise from Jacob to never abuse his daughters or take additional wives. Genesis 31:50.
