Gen 31:53
"The God of Abraham [your father] and the God of Nahor [my father], and the
1
god [the image of worship] of their father [Terah, an idolater], judge between us." But Jacob swore [only] by [the one true God] the Fear of his father Isaac. [Josh 24:2]
Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.
1
Here "god" is put in lowercase because Joshua later declared that Terah, the father of Abraham and Nahor, was an idolater, serving "other gods" (Josh 24:2). The wording of the Hebrew here indicates that Laban equated the God of Abraham and Nahor with the god of Terah. Whether Laban actually made no distinction in his mind between the true God and false gods, or simply committed an oversight, is not clear. Jacob evidently recognized the ambiguity in Laban's statement as well, so to avoid any possibility of swearing allegiance to a false god, he swore his own oath by the God of Isaac.
