Genesis 31:55
And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place. And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
Jacob had grown weary of service and asked to be sent away to his own place and country with the wives and children for whom he had served. Laban urged him to remain because he had learned by experience that the Lord had blessed him for Jacob's sake, having watched his property grow from little to a multitude under Jacob's care until Jacob increased exceedingly with cattle, maidservants, menservants, camels and asses. Then Laban became envious, his sons charged that Jacob had taken all their father's goods to gain glory, and Laban's attitude toward Jacob changed from what it had been before. Caught between fear of Esau on one side and violence from Laban's sons who regarded his wealth as their own on the other, Jacob was perplexed and distressed until he remembered the Bethel promise, took his case to God, and God answered in a dream commanding him to return to the land of his fathers and to his kindred with the promise to be with him.
The verse records the dawn departure of Laban and his company after the feast and night of friendly communing that confirmed the covenant of peace with Jacob. That leaving carried out the non-aggression agreement witnessed by the heap and pillar called Mizpah. The departure marked the final separation that ended all trace of connection between the children of Abraham and the dwellers in Mesopotamia.
