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.
