Genesis31:24
24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad .
Neither perswading him by flattering promises and cunning▪ Artifices, nor compelling him by threatnings, to return. For so these general words must be limited, as is evident from Gods design in them, and from the following Relation. So this is a Synecdochical expression.
Marginal references: Job 33. 15.; Heb. from good to bad.
