22 Σηκωθεις δε την νυκτα εκεινην, ελαβε τας δυο γυναικας αυτου και τας δυο θεραπαινας αυτου και τα ενδεκα παιδια αυτου και διεβη το περασμα του Ιαβοκ.

4261. 'He spent that night there' means in that state of obscurity. This is clear from the meaning of 'spending the night' and also of 'night' as a state of obscurity, dealt with in 1712, 3693.
