Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 28:10

10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.

It is not strange that Iacob went alone, as it appears that he did from Gen. 32. 10. when his Grandfathers servant was attended with a great retinue, Gen. 24. because attendance was then necessary to procure him Reputation and to obtain the consent of the Virgin and her Parents to so long a journey, but here as it was unnecessary, so it would have been troublesome and prejudicial, exposing him both to the envy and snares of his brother Esau, which by this private departure he did avoid. Besides God in his wise Providence did so order this and some other matters of the like nature, for the greater illustration of his care and kindness towards his Children. Add to this the great simplicity, humility, and innocency of those times if compared with ours, which made many things then usual which now would be ridiculous.
