מדרש אויף בראשית 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?

“It was told to Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled” (Genesis 31:22).
“He took his brethren with him, and pursued him a distance of seven days; he reached him in the highlands of Gilad” (Genesis 31:23).
“It was told to Laban on the third day” – Rabbi Abbahu said: What Jacob went in three days, Laban went in one day. “It was told to Laban on the third day” – the third day after the flight. Rabbi Ḥiyya Rabba said: What Jacob traversed in seven days, Laban traversed in one day. Whichever way you look at it, whether you agree or do not agree, it is already written: “He placed a distance of three days’ journey between himself and Jacob” (Genesis 30:36), and it is written: “It was told to Laban on the third day” – the third day after the flight, as it is stated: “He took his brethren with him, and pursued him a distance of seven days” – on that same day. That is, what Jacob traversed in seven days, Laban traversed in one day.

And I the fifty-ninth year of the life of Isaac, Abarham’s son, Rebekah, his wife, was still ‎barren; and Rebekah said unto Isaac: My Lord, verily I have heard that thy mother Sarah was ‎also barren from many days, until my lord Abraham, thy father, prayed concerning her, and ‎she conceived; now, therefore, arise and pray thou likewise unto the Lord and he will surely ‎hearthy prayer, and remember us in his mercy. And Isaac replied unto his wife, saying: My ‎father, Abraham, had already offered up prayers to God in my behalf to multiply his seed, ‎hence thy barrenness must be caused through thee. And Rebekah said unto him: Arise then ‎thou also, and pray that the Lord may hearken unto thy voice and grant me children. And Isaac ‎listened unto the words of his wife, and he and his wife with him arose and went unto the land ‎of Moriah to pray unto the Lord and to seek him there; and when Isaac reached that place he ‎stood up and prayed unto the Lord concerning the barrenness of his wife, and Isaac said: Oh ‎Lord, God of heaven and of earth, thou whose goodness and mercy fill the earth, who hast ‎taken my father from his father's house and from his native place, and hast brought him unto ‎this land, saying unto him: to thy seed will I give this land; thou who hast promised and ‎declared unto him, I will multiply thy seed like the stars of heaven and like the sand of the sea, ‎may thy words which thou hast spoken unto my father now become verified, for Thou art the ‎Lord our God, and our eyes are turned unto Thee to give us offspring according to thy promise ‎unto us, for Thou art the Lord our God, and our eyes are turned up to Thee only. And the Lord ‎hearkened unto Isaac's prayer, and the Lord was entreated of him, and his wife, Rebekah, ‎conceived; and about seven months after that the children struggled within her, and she had ‎great pains and she was wearied on their account; and she asked all the women in the land: ‎Did such a thing ever happen to any one of you? and they said unto her: No, it never did; and ‎she said unto them: Why do I stand alone in this matter among all the women that ever were ‎upon the earth? And she went unto the land of | Moriah to entreat the Lord concerning this, ‎and she went to Shem and to his son Eber to make inquiry of them on account of this matter, ‎so that they should pray to the Lord in her behalf; and she asked Abraham like wise to seek ‎the Lord and pray unto Him concerning what hath happened unto her. And all of them sought ‎the Lord concerning Rebekah, and they brought her in formation from the Lord, saying unto ‎her: Two children are in thy womb, and two nations shall arise from them; and one nation shall ‎be stronger than the other nation, and the elder shall serve the younger. And when her days ‎to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb; and the first came out ‎red all over, like a hairy garment, and they called his name Esau; and after that came his ‎brother out, and his hand took hold at Esau’s heel, and his name was called Jacob; and Isaac ‎was three-score years old when Rebekah bare them. And the boys grew up and reached their ‎fifteenth year, when they came among the people; and Esau was a man cunning and deceitful, ‎and a mighty hunter in the field; while Jacob was a man honest and prudent, who dwelt in ‎tents and attended to his flocks, and always studied the ways of the Lord, and the instructions ‎of his father and mother.
