01:031:043 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?
01:031:044 Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou;
and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
01:031:045 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
01:031:046 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took
stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the
heap.
01:031:047 And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it
Galeed.
01:031:048 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee
this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
01:031:049 And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee,
when we are absent one from another.
01:031:050 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.
01:031:051 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this
pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee:
01:031:052 This 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.
01:031:053 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their
father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his
father Isaac.
01:031:054 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his
brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all
night in the mount.
01:031:055 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons
and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and
returned unto his place.
01:032:001 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
01:032:002 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he
called the name of that place Mahanaim.
01:032:003 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto
the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
01:032:004 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my
lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with
Laban, and stayed there until now:
01:032:005 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and
womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may
find grace in thy sight.
01:032:006 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy
brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four
hundred men with him.
