42. “Unless the Elohim of my father, the Elohim of Aḇraham and the Fear of Yitsḥaq, had been with me, you would now have sent me away empty-handed. Elohim has seen my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rendered judgment last night.”
43. And Laḇan answered and said to Ya‛aqoḇ, “These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and this flock is my flock, and all that you see is mine. But what shall I do today to these, my daughters or to their children whom they have borne?
44. “And now, come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and it shall be a witness between you and me.”
45. So Ya‛aqoḇ took a stone and set it up as a standing column.
46. And Ya‛aqoḇ said to his brothers, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there on the heap.
47. And Laḇan called it Yeg̅ar Sahaḏutha, but Ya‛aqoḇ called it Gal‛ĕḏ.
48. And Laḇan said, “This heap is a witness between you and me today.” That is why its name was called Gal‛ĕḏ,
49. also Mitspah, because he said, “Let יהוה watch between you and me when we are out of each other’s sight.
50. “If you afflict my daughters, or if you take other wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us; see, Elohim is witness between you and me!”
51. And Laḇan said to Ya‛aqoḇ, “See this heap and see this standing column, which I have placed between you and me.
52. “This heap is a witness, and this standing column is a witness, that I do not pass beyond this heap to you, and you do not pass beyond this heap and this standing column to me, for evil.
53. “The Elohim of Aḇraham, the Elohim of Naḥor, and the Elohim of their father rightly rule between us!” And Ya‛aqoḇ swore by the Fear of his father Yitsḥaq.
54. And Ya‛aqoḇ brought an offering on the mountain, and called his brothers to eat bread. And they ate bread and spent the night on the mountain.
55. And Laḇan rose up early in the morning, and kissed his sons and daughters and blessed them. And Laḇan left and returned to his place.
