Charles Ellicott Commentary Genesis 31:24

"And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said unto him, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad." — Genesis 31:24 (ASV)

Either good or bad. —Hebrew, from good to bad: a proverbial expression, rightly translated in the Authorized Version, but conveying the idea of a more absolute prohibition than the phrase used in Genesis 24:50.
