## Genesis 31:43-47 in Context (Verses 40–50 KJV)
 
 [40 ](/kjv/genesis/31/40) *Thus* I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
 
 [41 ](/kjv/genesis/31/41) Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
 
 [42 ](/kjv/genesis/31/42) Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked *thee* yesternight.
 
 [43 ](/kjv/genesis/31/43) ¶ And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, *These* daughters *are* my daughters, and *these* children *are* my children, and *these* cattle *are* my cattle, and all that thou seest *is* mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
 
 [44 ](/kjv/genesis/31/44) Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
 
 [45 ](/kjv/genesis/31/45) And Jacob took a stone, and set it up *for* a pillar.
 
 [46 ](/kjv/genesis/31/46) And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
 
 [47 ](/kjv/genesis/31/47) And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.**
 
 [48 ](/kjv/genesis/31/48) And Laban said, This heap *is* a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
 
 [49 ](/kjv/genesis/31/49) And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.*
 
 [50 ](/kjv/genesis/31/50) If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take *other* wives beside my daughters, no man *is* with us; see, God *is* witness betwixt me and thee.
