Genesis 31:23 continues directly: Laban pursues for seven days and overtakes Jacob exactly at the mountains of Gilead mentioned here.

Genesis 31:27 reveals Laban's complaint: he would have sent Jacob off with celebration — contrasting Jacob's secret flight described here.

Genesis 15:18 establishes the Euphrates as the northern boundary of the promised land — the same river Jacob crosses heading back toward Canaan.

Joshua 24:2 recalls the patriarchs dwelling beyond the Euphrates. Jacob here crosses that same river, leaving the old homeland behind.

Joshua 24:3 describes God leading Abraham from beyond the Euphrates to Canaan — the same river crossing Jacob makes here, heading toward the promised land.
