Genesis 31:50-55 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

50. Then Laban said, “If you hurt my daughters, remember that God will punish you. If you marry other women, remember that God is watching.

51. Here are the rocks that I have put between us, and here is the special rock to show that we made an agreement.

52. This pile of rocks and this one special rock both help us to remember our agreement. I will never go past these rocks to fight against you, and you must never go on my side of these rocks to fight against me.

53. May the God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, and the God of their ancestors judge us guilty if we break this agreement.” Jacob’s father, Isaac, called God “Fear.” So Jacob used that name to make the promise.

54. Then Jacob killed an animal and offered it as a sacrifice on the mountain. And he invited his men to come and share a meal. After they finished eating, they spent the night on the mountain.

55. Early the next morning Laban kissed his grandchildren and his daughters goodbye. He blessed them and went back home.
