Charles Ellicott Commentary Genesis 31:3

"And Jehovah said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee." — Genesis 31:3 (ASV)

The Lord said to Jacob. —This is probably the revelation, more exactly described in Genesis 31:10-13, as given to Jacob in a dream. It is there ascribed to Elohim, but here to Jehovah. The narrator’s purpose in this, probably, is to show that while Jacob regarded the providence that watched over him as the act of Elohim, it was really in His nature as Jehovah, the covenant-God, that He thus guarded him. (See Note on Genesis 26:29.)

Your kindred. —Hebrew, your birthplace, as in Genesis 12:1; Genesis 24:4; Genesis 24:7, and other similar passages.
