‘And so it was that when Laban heard the news of his sister's son, Jacob, he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things. And Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” And he stayed with him for the period of a month.'
Jacob is welcomed as the true born ‘prince' that he is by a fellow ‘prince'. They are both of the same stock. Then Jacob tells him ‘all these things', presumably the general circumstances of his journey and his purpose in coming. Laban's stressing of the family connection indicates general agreement with the ideas.
“He stayed with him for the period of a month.” It was normal not to hurry such transactions as this. It would generally have been considered impolite to a relative to hurry the matter. But the hospitality offered indicates acceptance of the principle involved. (compare how Abraham's servant, who had been in a hurry, emphasised his own position as only a servant as a reason for not delaying).
