23
Zo zweer mij nu hier bij God: Zo gij mij, of mijn zoon, of mijn neef liegen zult! naar de weldadigheid, die ik bij u gedaan heb, zult gij doen bij mij, en bij het land, waarin gij als vreemdeling verkeert.
2626. 'As God had spoken to him' means as He had willed. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'speaking' as thinking, dealt with in 2271, 2287, 2619; but here willing is meant for the reason that it was 'God' who is said to have spoken, and thinking in the case of the Divine is His willing.
