Genesis 31:43

---

← Genesis 31:42	Genesis 31:43 (KJV)	Genesis 31:44 →
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.	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?	Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
