	Apologetics Press - Could Terah Have Been 130 When Abraham Was Born?
		The first seven years Jacob was in Padan Aram serving Laban, he was not married and had no children (29:18-20).
		Jacob did not receive his twelfth son until after he: (1) departed Padan Aram (31:18); (2) crossed over the river (Euphrates—31:21); (3) met with his brother, Esau, near Penuel (32:22,31; 33:2); (4) built a house in Succoth (33:17); (5) pitched his tent in Shechem (33:18); and (6) built an altar to God at Bethel (35:1-19).
		Since Joseph was born after Jacob had been living in Padan Aram for about 14 years, Isaac would have been no more than 137 in Genesis 27:1.] Like Isaac, it may be that Abraham was failing in health at 100, even though he wouldn’t die for another 75 years.

	Apollonius.Net - White Syrians Of Aramaean Cappadocia
		An "Aramaean" was a native of "Aram", and "Aramaic" was the language of the "Aramaeans".
		Thus we read (1) of Aram of the two rivers, or Aram Naharaim, equivalent to Padan-Aram, or the Plain of Aram, but comprehended also a mountain district called "the mountains of the east".
		But as we find the name Aram already applied to describe the country of Bethuel and Laban, the uncle and cousin of the later Aram, it is obvious that the country must have derived its name from the earlier, not from the later patriarch (Gen. xxv.20, xxviii.5andc).

		The analogy to Yaakov's sojourn does not hold all the way through - one week is not 20 years, nor is my cousin at all like Lavan - but there are some thoughts that pop into one's head that I'd like to share.
		Today's Padan Arams (or is it Padans Aram?) are filled with Yaakovs who are where they are for various and sundry reasons.
		Yaakov Avinu had the three "main excuses" at one time or another - Torah learning (this was not in Padan Aram, but it was away from Yitzchak, so I'm including it in the analogy), finding a wife andearning a livelihood.

		When Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebecca, daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Padan Aram and sister of Laban the Aramaean.

		Others write that padan means a yoke or field, and that this is the Field of Aram (Hosea 12:13), the area between Aram Naharaim and Aram Tzova (Allepo) (Rashi; Ibn Ezra).

	Joseph born when Jacob aged 74!
		If Jacob was indeed 91 years old when Joseph was born, then Jacob would have been 77 years old when he departed for Padan Aram.
		Although not initially apparent the death of Shem is the event which causes Isaac to pass on the birthright promises.
		The passing on of the birthright promises angers Esau and this leads to Jacob having to depart for Padan Aram.

		In parshas Vayishlach, Yaakov, after having spent twenty years in the home of his father-in-law Lavan in Padan Aram, is finally told (by Hashem) that the time has come for him to return home to his parents, Yitzchak and Rivkah.
		Devorah had been sent to Padan Aram to tell Yaakov to return home, and was travelling with Yaakov and his entourage back to Canaan when she died (suddenly?).
		She is buried there, and a great eulogy seemingly takes place, so much so that the area in which her eulogy was given is renamed Alon Bachus - Plain of Crying.

		Yitzchak gives Esav a secondary blessing, but Esav is still furious at Yaakov and resolves to kill him as soon as their father dies.
		In describing Lavan, the Torah writes, "Yitzchak sent Yaakov and he went to Padan Aram to Lavan the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rivka, who was the mother of Yaakov and Esav" (28:5).
		This question is only heightened by Yitzchak's injunction just a few verses prior to this one, in which he tells Yaakov, "Go to Padan Aram and take a wife for yourself from the daughters of Lavan" (28:2).

		When Yaakov Avinu purchased Eisav's right to be buried in the Machpelah Cave, he took all the money that he had acquired in Padan Aram and he made a pile (k'ri) of gold and silver.
		The two things Eisav had in his favor were the Mitzvah of Inhabiting the Land of Israel (Yishuv Eretz Yisroel) and the Mitzvah of Honoring his Father and Mother (Kibud Av V'Em).
		For the 20 years that Yaakov was living in Padan Aram he could fulfill neither of these commands, while Eisav was able to fulfill both of them.

		Balaam prophesied only some 280 years after Jacob’s departure from Laban’s home, and may then have been an old man, at any rate in those days 280 years covered only about two generations.
