40This was my condition, wasted by heat in the day and by the bitter cold at night; and sleep went from my eyes.
41These twenty years I have been in your house; I was your servant for fourteen years because of your daughters, and for six years I kept your flock, and ten times was my payment changed.
42If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would have sent me away with nothing in my hands. But God has seen my troubles and the work of my hands, and this night he kept you back.
43Then Laban, answering, said, These women are my daughters and these children my children, the flocks and all you see are mine: what now may I do for my daughters and for their children?
44Come, let us make an agreement, you and I; and let it be for a witness between us.
45Then Jacob took a stone and put it up as a pillar.
46And Jacob said to his people, Get stones together; and they did so; and they had a meal there by the stones.
