In v27, Laban directly asks why Jacob fled secretly, referencing this exact departure and complaining he missed the chance for a farewell celebration.

Genesis 25:20 identifies Laban as 'the Aramean,' matching the designation used here and establishing their shared ethnic and familial background.

Deuteronomy 26:5 recalls the patriarch as 'a wandering Aramean' — the same Aramean connection to Laban's household shown here.
