1Lastly, Jacob was also just in his dealings with all, for when Laban pursued him, as if he had been a thief, he bids him search among all his goods, if he could find any thing there that was his; and when nothing was found there unjustly gotten, he is bold to chide with Laban for pursuing him in that violent manner, Gen. 31.37. and so when the money was returned back in his sons sacks mouths, he not knowing how it came thither, wisheth them to return it back, lest it might be an oversight. Lo, he would not make advantage of an oversight, but that which was another's or might be, he was careful to return unto the right owner, and that though it might seem in show an easy matter to keep it. Let us learn righteousness of him, take not any other mans goods, keep not that which is not your own, ⟨p. 59⟩but give every one his own, and take to your selves that and only that which is your own, the contrary whereto is theft before God, though we can conceal it from men.
1Lastly, Iacob was also just in his dealings with all, for when Laban pursued him, as if he had been a theefe, he bids him search among all his goods, if he could find any thing there that was his; and when nothing was found there unjustly gotten, he is bold to chide with Laban for pursuing him in that violent manner, Gen. 31.37. and so when the money was returned back in his sons sacks mouthes, he not knowing how it came thither, wisheth them to returne it back, lest it might be an oversight. Loe, he would not make advantage of an oversight, but that which was anothers or might be, he was carefull to returne unto the right owner, and that though it might seem in shew an easie matter to keep it. Let us learne righteousnesse of him, take not any other mans goods, keep not that which is not your own, ⟨p. 59⟩but give every one his owne, and take to your selves that and only that which is your owne, the contrary whereto is theft before God, though we can conceale it from men.
