Genesis 31:49-54 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

49. "May the Lord consider and judge between us, when we will have withdrawn from one another.

50. If you afflict my daughters, and if you bring in other wives over them, no one is a witness of our words except God, who understands beforehand."

51. And again he said to Jacob. "Lo, this tomb and the stone that I have set up between me and you,

52. will be a witness. This tomb," I say, "and the stone, they are for testimony, in case either I cross beyond it going toward you, or you cross beyond it thinking to harm me.

53. May the God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us." Therefore, Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.

54. And after he had immolated sacrifices on the mountain, he called his brothers to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there.
