Jacob and Laban’s Treaty

⁴³ Laban said to Jacob, “·These girls [^LThe daughters] are my daughters. ·Their children belong to me [^LThe sons are my sons], and ·these flocks are mine [^Lthe flocks are my flocks]. Everything you see here belongs to me, but ·I can do nothing to keep [^Lwhat can I do about…?] my daughters and their children. ⁴⁴ ·Let us make [^LCome, let us cut] ·an agreement [a covenant/treaty; 6:18], and let ·us set up a pile of stones to remind us of it [^Lit be a witness between us].”

⁴⁵ So Jacob took a large rock and set it ·up on its end [^Las a pillar].
