43 And Laban aunswered and sayd vnto Iacob: these daughters are my daughters, and these chyldren are my chyldren, & these sheepe are my sheepe, and all that thou seest is myne: and what can I do this day vnto these my daughters, or vnto their children which they haue borne? 44 Nowe therfore come on, and let vs make a league I and thou, which may be a wytnesse betwene me and thee. 45 Then toke Iacob a stone, and set it vp on ende. 46 And Iacob sayde vnto his brethren: gather stones. And they toke stones, and made an heape: and they dyd eate there vpon the heape. 47 And Laban called it Iegar Sahadutha: but Iacob called it Galeed. 48 Then saide Laban: this heape is witnesse betwene thee and me this day, therfore it is called Galeed, 49 And Mispah: for he said, the Lord loke betwene thee and me when we are departed one from another, 50 If thou shalt vexe my daughters, or shalt take other wyues beside my daughters: here is no man with vs, beholde, God is wytnesse betwixt me and thee.
