Rebekah had a brother ... Laban ran out. From what we know of his character, there is reason to believe that the sight of the dazzling presents increased both his haste and his invitation.
Come in, thou blessed of the Lord. This, of course, was not Laban's customary style of speaking, because the name Yahweh was as yet confined to Abraham and his household. But whatever degree of knowledge Laban possessed of God, and that knowledge was probably debased by many corruptions, yet it is easy to conceive that he might borrow this language from Abraham's servant, whose words Rebekah, doubtless, had faithfully rehearsed to her relatives in the house.
