42
Except the G-d of my father, the G-d of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been on my side, surely now hadst thou sent me away empty. G-d hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and gave judgment yesternight.'
43
And Laban answered and said unto Jacob: 'The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou seest is mine; and what can I do this day for these my daughters, or for their children whom they have borne?
44
And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.'
45
And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
46
And Jacob said unto his brethren: 'Gather stones'; and they took stones, and made a heap. And they did eat there by the heap.
47
And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha; but Jacob called it Galeed.
48
And Laban said: 'This heap is witness between me and thee this day.' Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
49
and Mizpah, for he said: 'The HaShem watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
50
If thou shalt afflict my daughters, and if thou shalt take wives beside my daughters, no man being with us; see, G-d is witness betwixt me and thee.'
51
And Laban said to Jacob: 'Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set up betwixt me and thee.
52
This heap be witness, and the 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 G-d of Abraham, and the G-d of Nahor, the G-d of their father, judge betwixt us.' And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
54
And Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread; and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mountain.
