Save "On the epiphany in Genesis 31:24"

וַיָּבֹ֧א אֱלֹהִ֛ים אֶל־לָבָ֥ן הָאֲרַמִּ֖י בַּחֲלֹ֣ם הַלָּ֑יְלָה וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ל֗וֹ הִשָּׁ֧מֶר לְךָ֛ פֶּן־תְּדַבֵּ֥ר עִֽם־יַעֲקֹ֖ב מִטּ֥וֹב עַד־רָֽע׃

But God appeared to* Laban the Aramean in a dream by night and said to him, “Beware of attempting anything with Jacob, good or bad.”

*See note at 12.7.

(The above rendering—and footnote—come from the RJPS translation, an adaptation of the NJPS translation.)


The footnote here was introduced by mistake. The cross-reference is not germane here, because the Hebrew verb in 12:7 is a different one (although NJPS had rendered them both as appeared). This footnote will probably be deleted at a later date.
