“And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.”
And Jacob noticed that Laban's attitude toward him was not what it had been. The change in Laban's demeanor is the second signal — after the sons' complaint — that the household has become hostile. The application: recognizing a changed relational atmosphere before it becomes explicit conflict is the wisdom that allows a timely departure.
