Genesis 31:43-55 - The Agreement Between Jacob And Laban

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.
