Set it here before my relatives and yours, and let them settle the dispute between the two of us!“ I have been with you for the past twenty years. Your ewes and female goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten rams from your flocks.Animals torn by wild beasts I never brought to you; I always absorbed the loss myself. You always made me pay for every missing animal, whether it was taken by day or at night.I was consumed by scorching heat during the day and by piercing cold at night, and I went without sleep.This was my lot for twenty years in your house: I worked like a slave for you– fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks, but you changed my wages ten times!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.”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?So now, come, let’s make a formal agreement, you and I, and it will be proof that we have made peace.”So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a memorial pillar.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.Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.Laban said,“ This pile of stones is a witness of our agreement today.” That is why it was called Galeed.It was also called Mizpah because he said,“ May the LORD watch between us when we are out of sight of one another.If you mistreat my daughters or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no one else is with us, realize that God is witness to your actions.”“ Here is this pile of stones and this pillar I have set up between me and you,” Laban said to Jacob.“ This pile of stones and the pillar are reminders that I will not pass beyond this pile to come to harm you and that you will not pass beyond this pile and this pillar to come to harm me.May the God of Abraham and the god of Nahor, the gods of their father, judge between us.” Jacob took an oath by the God whom his father Isaac feared.Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and invited his relatives to eat the meal.
