Genesis 31:36-55 - Jacob's Covenant With Laban
36 Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: Jacob also answered and said to him, "What have I trespassed or what have I offended, that thou followedest after me? 37 Thou hast searched all my stuff, and what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Put it here before thy brethren and mine, and let them judge betwixt us both. 38 This twenty years that I have been with thee, thy sheep and thy goats have not been barren, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. 39 Whatsoever was torn of beasts I brought it not unto thee, but made it good myself: of my hand didst thou require it, whether it was stolen by day or night. 40 Moreover, by day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night, and my sleep departed from mine eyes. 41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house, and served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy sheep, and thou hast changed my reward ten times. 42 And except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the God whom Isaac feareth, had been with me: surely thou hadst sent me away now all empty. But God beheld my tribulation, and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday."
43 Laban answered and said unto Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the sheep are my sheep, 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? 44 Now therefore, come on, let us make a bond, I and thou together, and let it be a witness between thee and me."
45 Then took Jacob a stone and set it up on end, 46 and said unto his brethren, "Gather stones." And they took stones, and made a heap, and they ate there, upon the heap. 47 And Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called Gilead.
48 Then said Laban, "This heap be witness between thee and me this day." Therefore is it called Gilead. 49 "And this toot-hill which the LORD seeth," said he, "be witness between me and thee when we are departed one from another: 50 that thou shalt not vex my daughters neither shalt take other wives unto them. Here is no man with us: behold, God is witness betwixt thee and me." 51 And Laban said moreover to Jacob, "Behold, this heap and this mark which I have set here, betwixt me and thee: 52 this heap be witness and also this mark, that I will not come over this heap to thee, and thou shalt not come over this heap and this mark, to do any harm. 53 The God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, and the God of their fathers, be judge betwixt us." And Jacob sware by him that his father Isaac feared. 54 Then Jacob did sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread. And they ate bread and tarried all night in the hill. 55 And early in the morning Laban rose up and kissed his children and his daughters, and blessed them and departed and went unto his place again.
