01:031:035 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that
I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he
searched but found not the images.
01:031:036 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered
and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast
so hotly pursued after me?
01:031:037 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found
of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy
brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
01:031:038 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she
goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not
eaten.
01:031:039 That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare
the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day,
or stolen by night.
01:031:040 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost
by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
01:031:041 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee
fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and
thou hast changed my wages ten times.
01:031:042 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear
of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty.
God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked
thee yesternight.
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.
