1Now Jacob heard that Laban's sons were saying, "Jacob has taken away all that belonged to our father and built all this wealth at our father's expense."
“Now Jacob heard the words of Laban's son, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and from what belonged to our father he has made all this wealth.”
“And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's, and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this”
“And he heard the words of Laban's son saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's. And all that which was our father's hath he gotten, all this glory.”
“And he heard the words of Laban's son, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's. And of that which was our father's, has he gotten all this glory?”
“He heard the words of Laban's son saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all of his glory.”
2And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.
“And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and behold, it was not toward him as before.”
“And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban. And behold, it was not toward him as before.”
“and Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and behold, it was not toward him as before.”
“Jacob saw the attitude of Laban, and behold, it was not friendly toward him as formerly.”
“And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban. And behold, it was not towards him as before.”
“Jacob saw the attitude of Laban, behold, it was not friendly toward him as formerly.”
3Then the LORD said to Jacob, "Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you."
“And the Lord said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers and to thy kindred and I will be with thee.”
“and the Lord said unto Jacob, return unto the land of thy fathers and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee.”
“Then the Lord said to Jacob, return to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”
“The Lord said unto Jacob, return unto the land of thy fathers and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee.”
“The Lord said unto Jacob, return unto the land of thy fathers and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee.”
“then the Lord said to Jacob, return to the land of your fathers and your relatives, and I will be with you.”
4So Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,
“Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field, to his flock.”
“Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,”
“So Jacob said and called Rachel and Leah to his flock in the field,”
5and he told them, "I can see from your father's countenance that his attitude toward me has changed; but the God of my father has been with me.
“and said to them, I see your father's attitude that it is not friendly toward me as formerly, but the God of my father has been with me,”
“And he said unto them, I see that your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as it was before, but the God of my father hath been with me.”
“and he said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before, but the God of my father has been with me.”
“and said of them. I see your father's countenance. That is not toward me as before but the God of my father hath been with me.”
6You know that I have served your father with all my strength.
“and ye know that with all my power I have served your father,”
“"...you know that I have served your father with all my strength,”
“And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.”
“And you know that with all my power I have served your father.”
“you know that I served your father with all my strength,”
“And you know that with all my power, I have served your father.”
7And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.
“yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times. However, God did not allow him to hurt me.”
“"'And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God suffered him not to hurt me.'".”
“Yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times. However God did not allow him to hurt me.”
“and your father hath deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but God allowed him not to hurt me.”
“your father has deceived me, and he's changed my wages, ten times, but God would not allow him to hurt me.”
8If he said, 'The speckled will be your wages,' then the whole flock bore speckled offspring. If he said, 'The streaked will be your wages,' then the whole flock bore streaked offspring.
“"...if he spoke thus, the speckle shall be your wages, then all the flock brought forth speckled.". And if he spoke thus, "...the striped shall be your wages, then all the flock brought forth striped.”
“if he said thus, the speckle shall be thy wages, then all the cattle bore speckled. And if he said thus, the stripe shall be thy hire, then bore all the cattle”
9Thus God has taken away your father's livestock and given them to me.
“Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father and given them to me.”
“Thus God has taken away your father's livestock and given them to me.”
“thus God has taken away the cattle of your father and given them to me.”
10When the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.
“And it came about at the time when the flock were mating that I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which were mating were striped, speckled, and mottled.”
“And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived that I lifted up mine eyes and I saw in a dream and behold the rams which leaped upon the cattle were striped speckled and”
“And it came to pass, at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up my eyes, and I saw in a dream, and behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were rained straight, speckled, and grizzled.”
“And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived that I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream and behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstreak and speckled and grizzled.”
11In that dream the angel of God said to me, 'Jacob!' And I replied, 'Here I am.'
“And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob. And I said, here am I.”
“"...and the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob. And I said, Here am I.”
“Then the angel of God said to me in the dream, Jacob, and I said, here I am.”
“And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream saying, Jacob. And I said, here am I.”
“And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob. And I said, Here I am. Here am I.”
“and spotted. The angel of God spoke unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob, and he said, here am I.”
12'Look up,' he said, 'and see that all the males that are mating with the flock are streaked, spotted, or speckled; for I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
“he said, lift up now your eyes and see that all the male goats which are mating are striped, speckled, and mottled, for I have seen all that Laban has been doing to you.”
“And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see. All the rams which leap upon the cattle are wringed, straked, speckled, and grizzled. For I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.".”
“And he said, lift up now your eyes, and see all the rams which leap upon the cattle are rained straight, speckled, and grizzled. For I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee,”
“He said, lift up now thine eyes and see all the rams which leap upon the cattle are striped, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.”
13I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and made a solemn vow to Me. Now get up and leave this land at once, and return to your native land.'"
“I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you made a vow to me. Now arise, leave this land, and return to the land of your birth.”
“I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you made a vow to me. Now arise, leave this land, and return to the land of your birth.”
“I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you made a vow to me. Now, arise, leave this land, and return to the land of your birth.”
“I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointest the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me. Now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.”
“I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointest the pillar and where thou vowest a vow unto me. Now arise, get thee out from this land and return unto the land of thy kindred.”
“I am the God of Bethel where thou anointest the pillar where thou vowest a vow unto me. Now arise, get thee out from this land and return unto the land of thy kindred.”
14And Rachel and Leah replied, "Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father's house?
“And so Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?”
“Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Do we still have any portion or inheritance in our father's house?”
“Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?”
“"...and Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion of inheritance for us in our father's house?".”
15Are we not regarded by him as outsiders? Not only has he sold us, but he has certainly squandered what was paid for us.
“"...are we not counted of him strangers? For he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.".”
“Are we not counted of him as strangers? For he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money,”
16Surely all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you."
“for all the riches which God hath taken from our father that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.”
“"...for all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours and our children. Now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.".”
17Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on camels,
“"...then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels.”
“Then Jacob rose up and set his sons and his wives upon camels,”
“Then Jacob rose up, and he set his sons and his wives upon camels,”
“then Jacob arose, verse seventeen, and put his children and his wives upon camels,”
18and he drove all his livestock before him, along with all the possessions he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land in Canaan.
“He carried away all his cattle, all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting which he had gotten in Padon Aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.”
“and he carried away all his cattle and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Paderon, to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.”
“and he carried away all his cattle and all his goods, which he had gotten the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padinarum to go to Isaac, his father, in the land of Canaan.”
19Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father's household idols.
“And Laban went to shear his sheep, and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.".”
“And Laban went to shear his sheep, and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.”
“when Laban, verse nineteen, had gone to shear his flock, then Rachel stole the household idols that were her father's.”
“And Laban went to shear his sheep, and Rachel had stolen the teraphims, the images that were her father's,”
20Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was running away.
“"...and Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.".”
“And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.”
“And Jacob stole away, unaware to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he”
“Jacob stole away, unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.”
21So he fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.
“"...So he fled with all that he had, and he rose up and passed over the river and set his face toward the Mount Gilead.”
“So he fled with all that he had. And he rose up and passed over the river and set his face toward the Mount Gilead.”
“So he fled with all that he had, and he rose up, and he passed over the river, and has set his face toward Mount Gilead.”
“So he fled with all that he had. And he rose up and passed over the river and set his face toward Mount Gilead.”
“so that he fled with all that he had, and he rose up and passed over the river and set his face toward Mount Gilead.”
22On the third day Laban was informed that Jacob had fled.
“And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.”
“And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.”
“and it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.”
“when it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled,”
“it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled,”
“And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob fled.”
23So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
“And he took his brethren with him. And pursued after him seven days journey. And they overtook him in the Mount Gilead.”
“And he took his brethren with him and pursued after him seven days' journey. And they overtook him in the Mount Gilead.".”
“And he took his brethren with him and pursued after him seven days journey. And they overtook him in the Mount Gilead.”
“then he took his kinsmen with him and pursued him a distance of seven days' journey, and he overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.”
“And he took his brethren with him and pursued after him seven days' journey. And they overtook him in the”
“and he took his brethren with him and pursued after him a seven days journey. And they overtook him in Mount Gilead.”
24But that night God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream and warned him, "Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad."
“and God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said unto him, take heed that thou speak not to Jacob, either good or bad.”
“And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob, either good or bad.”
“"...And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob neither good or bad.".”
“And God came to Laban, the Syrian, in a dream by night and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob, either good or bad.”
“God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night and said to him, be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad.”
“And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Take heed that you speak not to Jacob either good or bad.”
25Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there as well.
“"...Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount, and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.".”
“Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the Mount. And Laban with his brethren pitched in the Mount of Gilead.”
“Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his kinsmen camped in the hill country of Gilead.”
“Then Laban overtook Jacob, and now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount, and Laban with his brothers pitched in the mount of Gilead.”
26Then Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done? You have deceived me and carried off my daughters like captives of war!
“And Laban said to Jacob, "'What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?'.”
“Then Laban said to Jacob, What have you done by deceiving me and carrying away my daughters like captives of the sword?”
“And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done that thou hast stolen away unawares to me and carried away my daughters as captains taken with the sword?”
“And Laban said to Jacob, what has thou done that thou had stolen away unawares to me and carried away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?”
27Why did you run away secretly and deceive me, without even telling me? I would have sent you away with joy and singing, with tambourines and harps.
“Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly and steal away from me? And didst not tell me that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp?”
“Why did you flee secretly and deceive me and did not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with joy and with songs, with timbrel and with lyre,”
“"'Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me? And didst not tell me that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, and with tabret, and with harp?'.”
“Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly and steal away from me and didst not tell me that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with timbrel and with harp?”
28But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.
“And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.”
“and did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly.”
“"'Hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.”
“And hast not permitted me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.”
29I have power to do you great harm, but last night the God of your father said to me, 'Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.'
“It is in my power to do you harm. But the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Be careful not to speak either good or bad to Jacob.”
“in the power of my hand to do you hurt. But the God of your father spake unto me yesterday night, saying, "'Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob, either good or bad.'".”
“It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt. But the God of your father spake to me yesterday night, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob, either good or bad.”
30Now you have gone off because you long for your father's house. But why have you stolen my gods?"
“now you have indeed gone away, because you longed greatly for your father's house. But why did you steal my gods?”
“"'And now, though thou wouldst needs be gone, because thou sore longest after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?'.”
“And now, though thou wouldst needs be gone, because thou greatly long'st after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods,”
31"I was afraid," Jacob answered, "for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
“And Jacob answered and said to Laban, "'Because I was afraid, for I said peradventure, thou wouldst take by force thy daughters from me.'".”
“Then Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid, for I said, lest you would take your daughters from me by force.”
“And Jacob answered and said unto Laban, Because I was afraid, for I said, Perhaps thou wouldst take by force thy daughters from me,”
32If you find your gods with anyone here, he shall not live! In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself if anything is yours, and take it back." For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.
“The one with whom you find your gods shall not live. In the presence of our kinsmen, point out what is yours among my belongings and take it for yourself. For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.”
“"...with whomsoever thy findest thy gods, let him not live, before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.".”
“the one with whom you shall find your God shall not live. In the presence of our kinsmen, point out what is yours among my belongings and take it for yourself. Notice the last statement. For Jacob did not know that Rachel had…”
“with whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live. Before our brethren, discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee, for, you see, Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.”
33So Laban went into Jacob's tent, then Leah's tent, and then the tents of the two maidservants, but he found nothing. Then he left Leah's tent and entered Rachel's tent.
“And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into two maidservant's tent, but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent and entered into Rachel's tent.”
34Now Rachel had taken Laban's household idols, put them in the saddlebag of her camel, and was sitting on them. And Laban searched everything in the tent but found nothing.
“Now Rachel had taken the images and put them in the camel's saddle, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.”
“Now, Rachel had taken the images and put them in the camel's saddle, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all over the tent, but he found them not.”
35Rachel said to her father, "Sir, do not be angry that I cannot stand up before you; for I am having my period." So Laban searched, but could not find the household idols.
“And she said to her father, Let it not displease my Lord that I cannot rise up before thee, for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but he found not the images.”
“And she said to her father," listen to her now,. "...let it not displease my Lord that I cannot rise up before thee, for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.".”
36Then Jacob became incensed and challenged Laban. "What is my crime?" he said. "For what sin of mine have you so hotly pursued me?
“"...And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? What is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?".”
“Then Jacob became angry and contended with Laban, and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my transgression? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me?”
“And Jacob was angry and contended with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? What is my sin that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?”
“And Jacob was wroth and showed with Laban, and Jacob answered and said to Laban, what is my trespass? What is my sin that thou hast so hotly pursued”
37You have searched all my goods! Have you found anything that belongs to you? Put it here before my brothers and yours, that they may judge between the two of us.
“Though you have felt through all my goods, what have you found of all your household goods? Set it here before my kinsmen and your kinsmen, that they may decide between us two.”
38I have been with you for twenty years now. Your sheep and goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flock.
“"'This twenty years have I been with thee. Thy ewes and thy she -goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.'".”
“This twenty years have I been with thee, thy ewes and thy she -goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.”
“These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flocks.”
“this 20 years have i been with thee. The ewes and the she goats have not cast their young and the rams of thy flock have i not eaten.”
“This 20 years have I been with thee. Thy hues and thy she goats have not cast their young and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.”
39I did not bring you anything torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for what was stolen by day or night.
“That which was torn of beasts I did not bring to you, I bore the loss of it myself. You required it of my hand, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.”
“That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee, I bore the loss of it. Of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.”
“"'That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee. I bear the loss of it. Of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.'".”
“That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee, I bear the loss of it. Of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night,”
40As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
“Thus I was in the day, the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep departed from mine eyes.”
“Thus I was. By day the heat consumed me and the frost by night and my sleep fled from my eyes.”
“I was. In the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep departed from my”
“I worked by day, the heat consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.”
“I was in the day, in the drought, it consumed me and the frost by night. My sleep departed from my eyes.”
“I was in the day the drug consumed me and the frost by night and my sleep departed from my eyes”
41Thus for twenty years I have served in your household—fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks—and you have changed my wages ten times!
“"'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.'".”
“These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you changed my wages ten times.”
“Thus have I been twenty years in thy house, and I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle, and thou hast changed my wages ten times.”
“Thus have I been twenty years in thy house. I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters and six years for thy cattle. And thou hast changed my wages ten times.”
“Thus have I been twenty years in the house. I serve thee fourteen years, fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle, and thou hast changed my ways ten times.”
42If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, surely by now you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, and last night He rendered judgment."
“If the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had not been for me, surely now you would have sent me away empty -handed. God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, so he rendered judgment last night.”
“if the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the fear of Isaac had not been for me, this is Jacob speaking, surely now you would have sent me away empty handed. God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, so he…”
“the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had been with me, surely you would have sent me away empty. But God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands. And he rebuked you last night.”
“"'Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had been with me, surely thou had sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction, and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee”
“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 my affliction, and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee”
“except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me. Surely thou hast sent me away now empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands and rebuked thee”
43But Laban answered Jacob, "These daughters are my daughters, these sons are my sons, and these flocks are my flocks! Everything you see is mine! Yet what can I do today about these daughters of mine or the children they have borne?
“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…”
“And Laban answered and said unto Jacob thee 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 thee my daughters or unto…”
“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…”
“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 you see is mine. And what can I do this day unto these my daughters and…”
“"'And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, these children are my children, these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine, and what can I do this day unto these? My daughters are unto…”
44Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me."
“Now, therefore, come thou, let us make a covenant. I and thou let it be for a witness between me and thee.”
“Now therefore, come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou. Let it be for a witness between me and thee.”
“now. Therefore come thou let us make a covenant and I and thou and let it be a witness between me and thee.”
45So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar,
“And Jacob took a stone and set it up for a pillar.”
“And Jacob took a stone and set it up for a pillar.”
“And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.”
“and thee. Jacob took a stone and set it up for a pillar.”
“And Jacob took a stone and he set it up for a pillar.”
“And Jacob took a stone and set it for a pillar.”
46and he said to his relatives, "Gather some stones." So they took stones and made a mound, and there by the mound they ate.
“And Jacob said unto his brethren, gather stones. And they took stones and made a heap. And they did eat there upon the heap.”
“And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones. And they took stones and made a heap, and they did eat there upon the heap.”
“And Jacob said unto his brethren gather stones. And they took stones and made a heap and they did eat there upon the heap”
