and he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan.
Genesis 31:18
Arcana Coelestia #4101
4101. 'And now do everything that God has told you means the Lord's Providence. This is clear from the meaning of 'doing everything God tells' as obeying.

Nor is God telling Him to act but He Himself does the telling, that is, He acts from Himself.
