Commentary on Genesis John Calvin (continued)
JOHN CALVIN
18. And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
18. Et abduxit omnes pecudes suas, et omnem substantiam suam, quam acquisierat, pecudes acquisitionis suae, quas acquisierat in Padan Aram, ut veniret ad Ishac patrem suum in terram Chenaan.
19. And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
19. Laban autem profectus erat ad tondendum oves suas, et furata est Rachel idola, quae erant patri suo.
20. And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
20. Furatus itaque est Iahacob cor Laban Aramaei, quia non indicavit ei quod fugeret.
21. So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
21. Et fugit ipse, et omnia quae erant ei: et surrexit, et transivit flumen, posuitque faciem suam ad montem Gilhad.
22. And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
22. Et nuntiatum fuit ipsi Laban die tertia, quod fugeret Iahacob.
23. And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
23. Tunc sumpsit fratres suos secum, secutusque est eum itinere septem dierum, et assecutus est eum in monte Gilhad.
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.
24. Porro venit Deus ad Laban Aramaeum in somnio noctis, et dixit ei, Cave tibi ne forte loquaris cum Iahacob a bono usque ad malum.
