God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night. 43 And Laban answered and said to Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that you see is mine: and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne? 44 Now therefore come, let us make a covenant, you and I; and let it be for a witness between me and you. 45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. 46 And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made a heap: and they ate there upon the heap. 47 And Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. 48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and you this day. Therefore its name was called Galeed; 49 And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another. 50 If you afflict my daughters, or if you take other wives besides my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness between me and you. 51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have set between me and you; 52 This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you shall not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm. 53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.
