Genesis 31:36–55

36 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so ahotly pursued after me? 37 Whereas thou hast †searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before bmy brethren and cthy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both. 38 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. 39 That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of dmy hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night. 40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. 41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I eserved thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and fthou hast changed my wages ten times. 42 gExcept the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and hthe fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. iGod hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and krebuked thee lyesternight. 43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born? 44 Now therefore come thou, mlet us make a covenant, I and thou; nand let it be for a witness between me and thee. 45 And Jacob otook a stone, and set it up for a pillar. 46 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. 47 And Laban called it ||Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it ||Galeed. 48 And Laban said, pThis heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; 49 And q||Mizpah; for he said, The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. 50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee. 51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee; 52 rThis heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm. 53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by sthe fear of his father Isaac. 54 Then Jacob ||offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called this brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount. 55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed uhis sons and his daughters, and xblessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
