Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him he was running away. Jacob is practicing the characteristic tool of his early life — deception through information management — one more time on his way out. The application: the twenty years of Laban's exploitation have produced in Jacob a departure style that mirrors how Laban treated him. Jacob leaves through calculated concealment rather than straightforward dealing.
