Genesis 31:38-55

31:38

This twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

[have] I [been] with thee; thy ewes
<07353>

and thy she goats
<05795>

have not cast their young
<07921> (8765)_,

and the rams
<0352>

of thy flock
<06629>

have I not eaten
<0398> (8804)_.

31:39

That which was torn
<02966>

[of beasts] I brought
<0935> (8689)

not unto thee; I bare the loss
<02398> (8762)

of it; of my hand
<03027>

didst thou require
<01245> (8762)

it, [whether] stolen
<01589> (8803)

by day
<03117>_,

or stolen
<01589> (8803)

by night
<03915>_.

31:40

[Thus] I was; in the day
<03117>

the drought
<02721>

consumed
<0398> (8804)

me, and the frost
<07140>

by night
<03915>_;

and my sleep
<08142>

departed
<05074> (8799)

from mine eyes
<05869>_.

31:41

Thus have I been twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

in thy house
<01004>_;

I served thee
<05647> (8804)

fourteen
<0702> <06240>

years
<08141>

for thy two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_,

and six
<08337>

years
<08141>

for thy cattle
<06629>_:

and thou hast changed
<02498> (8686)

my wages
<04909>

ten
<06235>

times
<04489>_.

31:42

Except
<03884>

the God
<0430>

of my father
<01>_,

the God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

and the fear
<06343>

of Isaac
<03327>_,

had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away
<07971> (8765)

now empty
<07387>_.

God
<0430>

hath seen
<07200> (8804)

mine affliction
<06040>

and the labour
<03018>

of my hands
<03709>_,

and rebuked
<03198> (8686)

[thee] yesternight
<0570>_.

31:43

And Laban
<03837>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

[These] daughters
<01323>

[are] my daughters
<01323>_,

and [these] children
<01121>

[are] my children
<01121>_,

and [these] cattle
<06629>

[are] my cattle
<06629>_,

and all that thou seest
<07200> (8802)

[is] mine: and what can I do
<06213> (8799)

this day
<03117>

unto these my daughters
<01323>_,

or
<0176>

unto their children
<01121>

which they have born
<03205> (8804)_?

31:44

Now therefore come thou
<03212> (8798)_,

let us make
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>_,

I and thou; and let it be for a witness
<05707>

between me and thee.

31:45

And Jacob
<03290>

took
<03947> (8799)

a stone
<068>_,

and set it up
<07311> (8686)

[for] a pillar
<04676>_.

31:46

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

Gather
<03950> (8798)

stones
<068>_;

and they took
<03947> (8799)

stones
<068>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

an heap
<01530>_:

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)

there upon the heap
<01530>_.

31:47

And Laban
<03837>

called
<07121> (8799)

it Jegarsahadutha
<03026>_:

but Jacob
<03290>

called
<07121> (8804)

it Galeed
<01567>_.

{Jegarsahadutha: that is, The heap of witness, Chaldee} {Galeed: that is, The heap of witness, Heb.}

31:48

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

This heap
<01530>

[is] a witness
<05707>

between me and thee this day
<03117>_.

Therefore was the name
<08034>

of it called
<07121> (8804)

Galeed
<01567>_;

31:49

And Mizpah
<04709>_;

for
<0834>

he said
<0559> (8804)_,

The LORD
<03068>

watch
<06822> (8799)

between me and thee, when we are absent
<05641> (8735)

one
<0376>

from another
<07453>_.

{Mizpah: that is, A beacon, or, watchtower}

31:50

If thou shalt afflict
<06031> (8762)

my daughters
<01323>_,

or if thou shalt take
<03947> (8799)

[other] wives
<0802>

beside
<05921>

my daughters
<01323>_,

no man
<0376>

[is] with us; see
<07200> (8798)_,

God
<0430>

[is] witness
<05707>

betwixt me and thee.

31:51

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Jacob
<03290>_,

Behold this heap
<01530>_,

and behold [this] pillar
<04676>_,

which I have cast
<03384> (8804)

betwixt me and thee;

31:52

This heap
<01530>

[be] witness
<05707>_,

and [this] pillar
<04676>

[be] witness
<05713>_,

that I will not pass over
<05674> (8799)

this heap
<01530>

to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over
<05674> (8799)

this heap
<01530>

and this pillar
<04676>

unto me, for harm
<07451>_.

31:53

The God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

and the God
<0430>

of Nahor
<05152>_,

the God
<0430>

of their father
<01>_,

judge
<08199> (8799)

betwixt us. And Jacob
<03290>

sware
<07650> (8735)

by the fear
<06343>

of his father
<01>

Isaac
<03327>_.

31:54

Then Jacob
<03290>

offered
<02076> (8799)

sacrifice
<02077>

upon the mount
<02022>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

his brethren
<0251>

to eat
<0398> (8800)

bread
<03899>_:

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>_,

and tarried all night
<03885> (8799)

in the mount
<02022>_.

{offered...: or, killed beasts}

31:55

And early
<07925> (0)

in the morning
<01242>

Laban
<03837>

rose up
<07925> (8686)_,

and kissed
<05401> (8762)

his sons
<01121>

and his daughters
<01323>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

them: and Laban
<03837>

departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

unto his place
<04725>_.
