“And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.”
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. The divine intervention constrains Laban before the confrontation — God limits what Laban can say or do. Psalm 105:14-15 celebrates God's warning to kings not to touch the anointed. The application: when God protects the covenant person from their pursuer, the protection comes in the form of divine constraint on the one who threatens.
