031:045 Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. 031:046 Jacob said to his relatives, "Gather stones." They took stones, and made a heap. They ate there by the heap. 031:047 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha,{"Jegar Sahadutha" means "Witness Heap" in Aramaic.} but Jacob called it Galeed.{"Galeed" means "Witness Heap" in Hebrew.} 031:048 Laban said, "This heap is witness between me and you this day." Therefore it was named Galeed 031:049 and Mizpah, for he said, "Yahweh watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another. 031:050 If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you." 031:051 Laban said to Jacob, "See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you. 031:052 May this heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm. 031:053 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us." Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father, Isaac. 031:054 Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread. They ate bread, and stayed all night in the mountain. 031:055 Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place. 032:001 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 032:002 When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's army." |
