41. I’ve been with your household 20 years now. I worked for you 14 years for your two daughters and 6 years for your flocks, and you changed my wages ten times.
42. If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would have sent me away empty-handed by now. God has seen my misery and hard work, and last night he made it right.”
43. Then Laban answered Jacob, “These are my daughters, my grandchildren, and my flocks. Everything you see is mine! Yet, what can I do today for my daughters or for their children?
44. Now, let’s make an agreement and let it stand as a witness between you and me.”
45. Jacob took a stone and set it up as a marker.
46. Then Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” They took stones, put them into a pile, and ate there by the pile of stones.
47. ⌊In his language⌋ Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha [Witness Pile], but Jacob called it Galeed.
48. Laban said, “This pile of stones stands as a witness between you and me today.” This is why it was named Galeed
