Now therefore come, let us make a covenant, I and you; and let it be for a witness between me and you.
Read Chapter 31
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Consider how Laban is gradually introduced to knowledge of God. The man who previously brought the charge of theft of his household gods against the good man and conducted such a close search now says, “Since there is no one capable of acting between us, in case anything happens later, let God act as witness between us to witness what is now being done by us. He is present, the one who sees everything, whose attention nothing can escape, who reads each person’s mind.”
