37. You have searched all my things, and yet what have you found of all your household things? Set it here before my kinsmen and your kinsmen, so that they may judge between us both.
38. “This twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried their young, and the male goats of your flock I have not eaten.
39. That which was torn by beasts I did not bring to you. I bore the loss of it. You required it from my hand whether it was stolen by day or stolen by night.
40. It was like this with me: In the day the heat consumed me and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.
41. I have been twenty years in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.
42. If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, surely you would have sent me away empty now. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands and rebuked you last night.”
43. Laban answered and said to Jacob, “These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day to 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 as a witness between you and me.”
45. So Jacob took a stone and set it up for a pillar.
46. Jacob said to his kinsmen, “Gather stones.” So they took stones and made a pile, and they ate there on the pile.
47. And Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
48. Laban said, “This pile is a witness between me and you this day.” Therefore its name was called Galeed,
49. and Mizpah, for he said, “May the Lord watch between you and me, when we are apart from one another.
50. If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take other wives beside my daughters, although no one else is with us, remember that God is witness between you and me.”
51. Then Laban said to Jacob, “See this pile and see this pillar which I have thrown between you and me.
