Then God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and said to him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.”
Genesis 31:24 (NIV)
What’s fascinating about this passage is that the “good or bad” is the same “tov” and “ra” from the garden. It points to the deception of the serpent re: the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Laban is called “the Aramean,” which we already know refers to his trickery.
