Genesis 31:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 31:11

And the Angel of God spake unto me in a dream
In the same dream before related, and to direct him to observe what was presented to him, and to confirm what he saw, and lead him to the design and use of it. This was not a created angel, but the eternal one, the Son of God, and who is afterwards called God, and to whom Jacob had made a vow, which he would never have done to an angel; but to God only, as Ben Melech observes: [saying], Jacob; and I said, here [am] I;
the Angel called him by his name, to which he answered, and signified that he was ready to attend to whatsoever he should say to him.

Genesis 31:11 In-Context

9 This is how God has taken away your father's animals and given them to me.
10 Once, when the animals were mating, I had a dream: I looked up and there in front of me the male goats which mated with the females were streaked, speckled and mottled.
11 Then, in the dream, the angel of God said to me, 'Ya'akov!' and I replied, 'Here I am.'
12 He continued, 'Raise your eyes now, and look: all the male goats mating with the females are streaked, speckled and mottled; for I have seen everything Lavan has been doing to you.
13 I am the God of Beit-El, where you anointed a standing-stone with oil, where you vowed your vow to me. Now get up, get out of this land, and return to the land where you were born.'"
