Genesis:31:36-55
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Jacob was wroth ,
and chode with Laban :
and Jacob answered and said to Laban ,
What is my trespass ?
what is my sin chatta #
ah #,
that thou hast so hotly pursued after me ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Thus I was ;
in the day the drought consumed me ,
and the frost by night ;
and my sleep departed from mine eyes .
*
Thus have I been twenty years in thy house ;
I served thee fourteen #
H6240years for thy two daughters ,
and six years for thy cattle tso #
n #:
and thou hast changed my wages ten times .
*
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 .
*
And Laban answered and said unto Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
These daughters are my daughters ,
and these children are my children ,
and these cattle are my cattle tso #
n #,
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 ?
*
Now therefore come thou ,
let us make a covenant ,
I and thou ;
and let it be for a witness between me and thee .
*
And Jacob took a stone ,
and set it up for a pillar .
*
And Jacob said unto his brethren ,
Gather stones ;
and they took stones ,
and made an heap :
and they did eat there upon the heap .
*
And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha Y @
gar :
but Jacob called it Galeed Gal #
ed #.
*
And Laban said ,
This heap is a witness between me and thee this day .
Therefore was the name of it called Galeed Gal #
ed #;
*
And Mizpah ;
for he said ,
The LORD watch between me and thee ,
when we are absent one from another .
*
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 .
*
And Laban said to Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
Behold this heap ,
and behold this pillar ,
which I have cast betwixt me and thee ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
