NETBible

Jacob also deceived¹ Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was leaving.²

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “stole the heart of,” an expression which apparently means “to deceive.” The repetition of the verb “to steal” shows that Jacob and Rachel are kindred spirits. Any thought that Laban would have resigned himself to their departure was now out of the question.

²tn Heb “fleeing,” which reflects Jacob’s viewpoint.
