Information

Laban

Laban (Hebrew: לָבָן, Modern: Lavan, Tiberian: Lāḇān) is a figure in the Hebrew Bible, known for his complex relationship with his nephew and son-in-law, Jacob. Laban is introduced in the Book of Genesis as the son of Bethuel and the brother of Rebekah, who is also the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau. The name Laban is often translated as "white" or "pale" in Hebrew, which may refer to his complexion or character. In the Arabic tradition, he is known as لابان (Lābān) and is sometimes referred to as لابان بن بتوئيل (Lābān ibn Būtū'īl). In the Greek Septuagint, his name is rendered as Λάβαν (Lában). Laban is best known for his deceitful dealings with Jacob, including tricking Jacob into marrying his elder daughter Leah instead of the younger Rachel, whom Jacob loved. Despite their contentious relationship, Laban and Jacob eventually part ways on somewhat amicable terms, with Laban blessing his daughters and grandchildren. The story of Laban and Jacob serves as a significant narrative in the patriarchal history of the Israelites, highlighting themes of cunning, family dynamics, and divine providence.
