Génesis 31:43

43. Laban answered Whether awed by Jacob’s words, or convinced of the folly of attempting to change his plans or purposes, he hastens to propose a covenant, to which Jacob readily agrees . Laban’s words may be rendered as follows:

The daughters my daughters,

And the sons my sons,

And the flock my flock,

And all which thou seest

Mine it is!

And to my daughters, what shall I do to them to-day?

Or to their sons, which they have borne?

And now come, let us cut a covenant,

I and thou;

And let it be for a witness

Between me and thee .
