Genesis 24:29

And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban
Perhaps he was her only brother, or however the elder brother, the principal in the family, her father Bethuel being old: and Laban ran out:

this was after Rebekah had got home, and had related to the family whom she had met with at the well, and what had passed between them, as follows:

Genesis 24:29 In-Context

27 and prayed, "Blessed be God, God of my master Abraham: How generous and true you've been to my master; you've held nothing back. You led me right to the door of my master's brother!"

28 And the girl was off and running, telling everyone in her mother's house what had happened.

29 Rebekah had a brother named Laban. Laban ran outside to the man at the spring.

30 He had seen the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister and had heard her say, "The man said this and this and this to me." So he went to the man and there he was, still standing with his camels at the spring.

31 Laban welcomed him: "Come on in, blessed of God! Why are you standing out here? I've got the house ready for you; and there's also a place for your camels."
