Genesis 31:43-47

43Then LabanH3837 repliedH6030 to JacobH3290, “The daughtersH1323 are my daughtersH1323, the 1childrenH1121 are my 2grandchildrenH1121, 3the flocksH6629 are my flocksH6629, and everythingH3605 that you seeH7200 is mine. But whatH4100 can I doH6213 this dayH3117 to theseH428 daughtersH1323 of mine orH176 to their childrenH1121 to whomH834 they have givenH3205 birthH3205?

44So nowH6258 comeH1980, let’s 4makeH3772 a covenantH1285, 5you and I, and 6it shall be a witnessH5707 betweenH996 7you and me.”

45Then JacobH3290 tookH3947 8a stoneH68 and setH7311 it upH7311 as a memorialH4676 stoneH4676.

46JacobH3290 saidH559 to his relativesH251, “GatherH3950 stonesH68.” So they tookH3947 stonesH68 and madeH6213 a heapH1530, and they ateH398 thereH8033 by the heapH1530.

47Now LabanH3837 9calledH7121 it 10Jegar-sahaduthaH3026, but JacobH3290 calledH7121 it 11GaleedH1567.
