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 ]
Bethuel (Hebrew: בְּתוּאֵל – Bəṯūʾēl), in the Hebrew Bible, was an Aramean man, [1] the youngest son of Nahor and Milcah, [2] the nephew of Abraham, and the father of Laban and Rebecca.
She was the second daughter of Laban, Rebekah's brother, making Jacob her first cousin. [2] Jacob had traveled a great distance to find Laban. Rebekah had sent him there to be safe from his angry twin brother, Esau. During Jacob's stay, he fell in love with Rachel and agreed to work seven years for Laban in return for her hand in marriage.
And for that proposition, the Gemara cited Genesis 14:1, Isaiah 7:1 Jeremiah 1:3, Ruth 1:1, and Esther 1:1.

Milcah's son Bethuel moves to Padan-aram (also called Aram-Naharaim) and fathers Rebekah. [9] Milcah's granddaughter Rebekah eventually marries Milcah's cousin Isaac [10] and gave birth to Jacob [11] who became Israel. [12] There is a midrash that Milcah was the forebear of all prophets in the non-Jewish world. [13]
Laban (/ ˈ l eɪ b ə n /) [1] is a figure in the First Book of Nephi, near the start of the Book of Mormon, a scripture of the Latter Day Saint movement. Although he only makes a brief appearance in the Book of Mormon, his brass plates play an important role when they are taken by Laman and Nephi (often referred to as the "sons of Lehi") and are used by the Nephites.
In Chapter 3, Lehi tells Nephi that he has had a prophetic dream in which the Lord commanded him to send his four sons back to Jerusalem to obtain a set of brass plates held by a man named Laban. The plates contain "the record of the Jews," which, Lehi believes, his descendants will need when they establish a new civilization in the land that ...
