13 And when Laban heard tell of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet him and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
14 To whom Laban said, “Well, you are my bone and my flesh.” And he stayed with him for a month.

50 ‘Has not My hand made all these things?’
51 “You stiff-necked! With uncircumcised hearts and ears! You have always resisted the Holy Ghost. As your fathers did, so do you!

53 “Who have received the law by the ordinance of angels and have not kept it.”
