Midrasch zu Bereschit 31:22

Rabbi Eliezer also said: Jacob fled in order to come to Laban, and he fled to get away from Laban. Whence do we know that he fled in order to come to Laban? Because it is said, "And Jacob fled || into the field of Aram" (Hos. 12:12). (Whence do we know that) he fled in order to get away from Laban? Because it is said, "And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled" (Gen. 31:22). Why did he flee? Because the Holy One, blessed be He, said to him: Jacob ! I cannot suffer My Shekhinah to dwell with thee outside the land, but "return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee" (Gen. 31:3). Therefore he fled. And Laban took all the men of his city, mighty men, and he pursued after him, seeking to slay him. The angel Michael descended, and drew his sword behind him, seeking to slay him. He said to him: Do not speak to Jacob, either good or bad, as it is said, "And God came to Laban the Aramæan in a dream of the night, and said unto him, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad" (Gen. 31:24). Laban rose up early in the morning, and saw all that Jacob had, and he said (to him): All these are mine, and since thou hast taken all these, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my Teraphim, which I worshipped?
