10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

4119. 'It was told to Laban on the third day' means an ending, that is to say, of being joined together. This is clear from the meaning of 'the third day' as the last stage, also the completion, and so an ending, dealt with in 1825, 2788. The beginning too is meant, 2788, for the ending of a state in which two have been joined together is also the beginning of the subsequent state of their separation from each other. This state is meant here by 'the third day'.
