Genesis 31:12,13 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Precious, very precious, are the renewals of the first visions of God to his people. Jacob's Bethel was, no doubt, always dear to the Patriarch's remembrance. And Moses never forgot his Dweller in the bush. Exodus 3:2-4, compared with Deuteronomy 33:16. Reader! Do you know anything in your own experience, of the first manifestations of grace, and of the after visits of divine love?

Genesis 31:12-13

12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.

13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
