49and 12MizpahH4709, for he saidH559, “May the LordH3068 watchH6822 betweenH996 3you and me whenH3588 we are 4absentH5641 oneH376 from the otherH7453.
50IfH518 you mistreatH6031 my daughtersH1323, or ifH518 you takeH3947 wivesH802 besidesH5921 my daughtersH1323, although noH369 manH376 is with us, seeH7200, 5GodH430 is witnessH5707 betweenH996 6you and me.”
51LabanH3837 saidH559 to JacobH3290, “BeholdH2009 thisH2088 heapH1530 and beholdH2009 the pillarH4676 whichH834 I have setH3384 betweenH996 7you and me.
52ThisH2088 heapH1530 is a witnessH5707, and the pillarH4676 is a witnessH5713, that I will not passH5674 by thisH2088 heapH1530 to you for harm, and you will not passH5674 by thisH2088 heapH1530 and thisH2088 pillarH4676 to me, for harmH7463.
538The GodH430 of AbrahamH85 and the GodH430 of NahorH5152, the GodH430 of their fatherH1, 9judgeH8199 betweenH996 us.” So JacobH3290 sworeH7650 by 10the fearH6343 of his fatherH1 IsaacH3327.
