40. I sweated every day, and I couldn't sleep at night because of the cold.
41. I had to work fourteen of these twenty long years to earn your two daughters and another six years to buy your sheep and goats. During that time you kept changing my wages.
42. If the fearsome God worshipped by Abraham and my father Isaac had not been on my side, you would have sent me away without a thing. But God saw my hard work, and he knew the trouble I was in, so he helped me. Then last night he told you how wrong you were.
43. Laban said to Jacob, “Leah and Rachel are my daughters, and their children belong to me. All these sheep you are taking are really mine too. In fact, everything you have belongs to me. But there is nothing I can do to keep my daughters and their children.
44. So I am ready to make an agreement with you, and we will pile up some large rocks here to remind us of the agreement.”
45. After Jacob had set up a large rock,
46. he told his men to get some more rocks and pile them up next to it. Then Jacob and Laban ate a meal together beside the rocks.
47. Laban named the pile of rocks Jegar Sahadutha. But Jacob named it Galeed.
