13 Και ως ηκουσεν ο Λαβαν το ονομα του Ιακωβ του υιου της αδελφης αυτου, εδραμεν εις συναντησιν αυτου· και εναγκαλισθεις αυτον, εφιλησεν αυτον και εφερεν αυτον εις την οικιαν αυτου· και διηγηθη ο Ιακωβ προς τον Λαβαν παντα τα γενομενα.

3811. Verses 14-15. And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he dwelt with him a month of days. And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? Tell me, what shall be thy reward? “And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh,” signifies conjoined in respect to truths and to goods; “and he dwelt with him a month of days,” signifies a new state of life; “and Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother,” signifies because they have blood relationship from good; “shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? Tell me what shall be thy reward,” signifies that there must be a means of conjunction.
