This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
Ver. 50. Laban and Bethuel.] Laban, the young master, was the great doer in this affair.
We cannot speak unto thee bad or good.] "Good" (with reason) we cannot say against the motion; and "bad" we will not say. Demosthenes, pressed by his friends to plead for one whom he greatly liked not, answered, åðáéíåéí áõôïí ïõ äõíáìáé øåãåéí äå ïõ âïõëïìáé: Say for him I cannot; say against him I will not.
