Genesis18:17
17 And the LORD said, shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do.
q. d. I will not, cannot, hide it: It is against the laws of Friendship to conceal my secrets from him. The interrogation here is in effect a negation, as elsewhere. Compare 2 Sam. 7. 5. with 1 Chron. 17. 4. and Matth. 7. 16. with Luke 6. 43. See also Amos 3. 7.
Marginal references: Amos 3. 7.
