And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he obtained all this glory.

And Laban assembled all the men of the place, and made a feast.

And Laban gave to his daughter Leah, Zilpah his maid for a handmaid.

And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? did I not serve with thee for Rachel? why then hast thou deceived me?

And Laban said, it must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the first-born.

And Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter, Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her maid.

And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.

And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, It may be thou wouldest take thy daughters from me by force.

And Laban answered, and said to 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 to these my daughters, or to their children which they have borne?

And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed:

And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed:

And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;
