Genesis 31:27 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 31:27

25 So Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountains, and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mountains of Gilead.

26 And Laban said to Jacob: “What have you done, that you have stolen away unknown to me, and ^acarried away my daughters like captives taken with the sword?

27 Why did you flee away secretly, and steal away from me, and not tell me; for I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with timbrel and harp?

28 And you did not allow me ^ato kiss my sons and my daughters. Now ^byou have done foolishly in so doing.

29 It is in my power to do you harm, but the ^aGod of your father spoke to me ^blast night, saying, ‘Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.’
