Genesis28:5
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went to Padan-aram, unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian , the brother of Rebekah, Jacobs and Esaus mother.
Obj. He was no Syrian but a Mesopotamian. Ans. Syria is sometimes largely taken and so it comprehends Mesopotamia or Chaldea, yea and Assyria, as appears from Isa. 36. 11. Dan. 2. 4.
