Genesis 31:55 - Exposition

And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters ,— i . e . Rachel and Leah and their children. It does not appear that Laban kissed Jacob on taking final leave of him as he did on first meeting him ( Genesis 29:1-35 :39)— and blessed them (cf. Genesis 14:1-24 :60; Genesis 28:1 ): and Laban departed, and returned unto his place —Padan-aram (cf. Genesis 18:33 ; Genesis 30:25 ).
