And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
Jacob stole away from Laban the Syrian by leaving without telling him that he was fleeing. The secrecy of that departure followed Laban's growing envy and the open hostility of Laban's sons toward him. It came after God directed Jacob to return to his homeland. With that direction came God's promise to be with him.
