Genesis 31:43-45
New English Translation
43 Laban replied[a] to Jacob, “These women[b] are my daughters, these children are my grandchildren,[c] and these flocks are my flocks. All that you see belongs to me. But how can I harm these daughters of mine today[d] or the children to whom they have given birth? 44 So now, come, let’s make a formal agreement,[e] you and I, and it will be[f] proof that we have made peace.”[g]
45 So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a memorial pillar.
