Genesis 31:25 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 31:25

Then Laban overtook Jacob
He was come to the mount the overnight, but now in the morning he came nearer to him, so as to hold a conversation with him: now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount, and Laban with his
brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead;
both on the same mount; one perhaps at the bottom, and the other at the top; or one on one hill of it, and the other on another, or right over against one another.
