John Calvin Commentary Genesis 24:50

"Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from Jehovah. We cannot speak unto thee bad or good." — Genesis 24:50 (ASV)

The thing proceedeth from the Lord. Since they are convinced by the man's account that God was the Author of this marriage, they declare that it would be unlawful for them to offer any contradiction. They declare that the thing proceedeth from the Lord, because He had, by the clearest signs, made His will manifest.

From this we perceive that although true religion was partially observed among them, and partially infected with serious errors, yet the fear of God was never so completely extinguished; indeed, this principle remained firmly fixed in all their minds: that God must be obeyed.

If, then, wretched idolaters, who had almost fallen away from religion, nevertheless submitted themselves to God to such an extent as to acknowledge it unlawful for them to swerve from His will, how much more prompt should our obedience be? Therefore, as soon as God's will is made known to us, not only let our tongues be silent, but let all our senses be still; because it is an audacious profanation to entertain any thought that opposes that will.
