This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jacob fled ... served - Though ye pride yourselves on the great name of “Israel,” forget not that your progenitor was the same Jacob who was a fugitive, and who served for Rachel fourteen years. He forgot not Me who delivered him when fleeing from Esau, and when oppressed by Laban (Gen 28:5; Gen 29:20, Gen 29:28; Deu 26:5). Ye, though delivered from Egypt (Hos 12:13), and loaded with My favors, are yet unwilling to return to Me.
country of Syria - the champaign region of Syria, the portion lying between the Tigris and Euphrates, hence called Mesopotamia. Padan-aram means the same, that is, “Low Syria,” as opposed to Aramea (meaning the “high country”) or Syria (Gen 48:7).
