Its Midrashic interpretation is: 91 :BLÖþÐðÌôe and he made a [wedding] feast. :íÞÓzÐLÌôNÔ¼'ÔiÔî
[Yaakov meant:] “If he [Lavan] intends to be deceitful ,êÖë êeí ³eêÖnÔþÐñóÌê 23. When it was evening, ëÓþ flÓ¼Öë−¤ÌíÐ−Ôî .è×

Yaakov said both, êîí í−ëê −ìê −× as well as êîí íšëþ öë which would otherwise seem redundant. (L.S.R.) 94 Why did
she not tell her mother as did Rivkah, above 24, 8? (G.A.) 95 Ber. Rab. 70, 13. 96 Why was Lavan so excited? 108 Ber. Rab. 70, 17. 109 Onkelos translates −ô− îêñô—My work is completed. Rashi disagrees. 110 Ber. Rab. 70, 18.
