31:41. And in this manner have I served thee in thy house twenty years, fourteen for thy daughters, and six for thy flocks: thou hast changed also my wages ten times. 31:42. Unless the God of my father, Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had stood by me, peradventure now thou hadst sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday. 31:43. Laban answered him: The daughters are mine, and the children, and thy flocks, and all things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my children, and grandchildren? 31:44. Come, therefore, let us enter into a league; that it may be for a testimony between me and thee. 31:45. And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a title. 31:46. And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they, gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it. 31:47. And Laban called it, The witness heap; and Jacob, The hillock of testimony: each of them according to the propriety of his language. 31:48. And Laban said: This heap shall be a witness between me and thee this day, and therefore the name thereof was called Galaad, that is, The witness heap. 31:49. The Lord behold and judge between us, when we shall be gone one from the other. 31:50. If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth. 31:51. And he said again to Jacob: Behold this heap, and the stone which I have set up between me and thee, 31:52. Shall be a witness: this heap, I say, and the stone, be they for a testimony, if either I shall pass beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt pass beyond it thinking harm to me. 31:53. The God of Abraham, and the God of Nachor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac: 31:54. And after he had offered sacrifices in the mountain, he called his brethren to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there: 31:55. But Laban arose in the night, and kissed his sons and daughters, and blessed them: and returned to his place. Genesis Chapter 32 Jacob’s vision of angels; his message and presents to Esau; his wrestling with an angel. 32:1. Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: and the angels of God met him. 32:2. And when he saw them, he said: These are the camps of God, and he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, Camps. 32:3. And he sent messengers before him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom: 32:4. And he commanded them, saying: Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy brother Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and have been with him until this day: 32:5. I have oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants, and womenservants: and now I send a message to my lord, that I may find favour in thy sight.
