Genesis 29:13

13 When Laban heard this news about Jacob, his sister’s son, he rushed out to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Jacob ^{▼▼ Heb “he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.} told Laban how he was related to him. ^{▼▼ Heb “and he told to Laban all these things.” This might mean Jacob told Laban how he happened to be there, but Laban’s response (see v. 14) suggests “all these things” refers to what Jacob had previously told Rachel (see v. 12).}
