Genesis 29:5
And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor?.... He was the son of Bethuel, and grandson of Nahor; grandsons being called the sons of their grandfather; and Nahor might be more known than Bethuel, Haran being Nahor's city, Genesis 24:10; and not Bethuel his mother's father, but Laban her brother is inquired after; perhaps Bethuel was dead, and Laban was the head of the family, and well known, and it was to him he was sent:
And they said, We know him; perfectly well; he lives in our city, and is our neighbour.
