Genesis 31:43-45

Good News Translation

The Agreement between Jacob and Laban

⁴³ Laban answered Jacob, “These young women are my daughters; their children belong to me, and these flocks are mine. In fact, everything you see here belongs to me. But since I can do nothing to keep my daughters and their children, ⁴⁴ I am ready to make an agreement with you. Let us make a pile of stones to remind us of our agreement.”

⁴⁵ So Jacob got a stone and set it up as a memorial.
