42. If the God of my father – the God of Abraham, the one whom Isaac fears – had not been with me, you would certainly have sent me away empty-handed! But God saw how I was oppressed and how hard I worked, and he rebuked you last night.”
43. Laban replied to Jacob, “These women are my daughters, these children are my grandchildren, and these flocks are my flocks. All that you see belongs to me. But how can I harm these daughters of mine today or the children to whom they have given birth?
44. So now, come, let’s make a formal agreement, you and I, and it will be proof that we have made peace.”
45. So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a memorial pillar.
46. Then he said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” So they brought stones and put them in a pile. They ate there by the pile of stones.
47. Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
48. Laban said, “This pile of stones is a witness of our agreement today.” That is why it was called Galeed.
