Genesis35:5
5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
(i. e.) A great terrour sent from God, as Exod. 23. 27. Ios. 2. 9, 11. 2 Chron. 14. 14. and 17. 10. So we read of a sleep of God, 1 Sam. 26. 12. Nothing less could have secured Iacob considering the great number, power, and rage of his enemies.
Marginal references: Exod. 15. 16. and 34. 24. Deut. 11. 25. Jos. 5. 1.
