Ivan Pedersen (born April 22, 1950) is a Danish composer, singer, drummer, and producer who has released over 20 albums since starting his musical career in 1966. He was the drummer and singer of the Danish band McKinleys from 1966 to 1980 and later formed the band Laban with Lecia Jønsson which lasted from 1982 to 1988.
Laban and Jacob make a covenant together, as narrated in Genesis 31:44–54. Laban (Aramaic: ܠܵܒܵܢ; Hebrew: לָבָן , Modern: Lavan, Tiberian: Lāḇān, "White"), also known as Laban the Aramean, is a figure in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible. He was the brother of Rebekah, the woman who married Isaac and bore Jacob.
Rebecca's brother was Laban the Aramean, and she was the granddaughter of Milcah and Nahor, the brother of Abraham. [4] Rebecca and Isaac were one of the four couples that some believe are buried in the Cave of the Patriarchs , the other three being Adam and Eve , Abraham and Sarah , and Jacob and Leah . [ 5 ]
Rebekah's brother Laban ran out to the servant at the spring, and when he saw the nose-ring and the bands on Rebekah's arms, and when he heard his sister tell the story, Laban invited the servant to their house, had the camels unloaded and fed, and had water brought to bathe the feet of the servant and his party. [26]
Despite the importance of Rebekah's mother in the narrative of this bible passage, her name is not mentioned. A generation later, Isaac and Rebecca sent their son Jacob back to Paddan Aram to take a wife from among Laban's daughters, Bethuel's granddaughters, rather than from among the Canaanites.
Laban was a 1980s Eurodisco duo consisting of Lecia Jønsson and Ivan Pedersen. Both members were born in Denmark and originally sang in Danish , before moving on to English language releases. They went on to limited international success with the releases of two albums, as well as singles such as "Love in Siberia" and "Caught by Surprise".
Rabbi Isaac concluded that the verse thus teaches that her father was a charlatan (רַמַּאי , ramai), her brother was a charlatan, and the residents of Padan Aram were charlatans, but Rebekah was a righteous woman who emerged from their midst like a "lily among the thorns" (in the words of Song of Songs 2:2).
