Here is no man with us: behold, God is witness betwixt thee and
me. And Laban said moreover to Iacob: behold, this heap and this
mark which I have set here, betwixt me and thee: this heap be
witness and also this mark, that I will not come over this heap to
thee, and thou shalt not come over this heap and this mark, to do
any harm. The God of Abraham, the God of Nahor and the God of
their fathers, be judge betwixt us. And Iacob sware by him that
his father Isaac feared. Then Iacob did sacrifice upon the mount,
and called his brethren to eat bread. And they ate bread and
tarried all night in the hill. And early in the morning Laban rose
up and kissed his children and his daughters, and blessed them and
departed and went unto his place again.
Chapter .xxxij.
But Iacob went forth on his journey. And the angels of God came
and met him. And when Iacob saw them, he said: this is God's
{godes} host: and called the name of that same place Mahanaim.
Iacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, unto the
land of Seir and the field of Edom. And he commanded them saying:
see that ye speak after this manner to my lord Esau: thy servant,
Iacob sayeth thus; I have sojourned and been a stranger with Laban
unto this time: and have gotten oxen, asses and sheep, menservants
and womenservants, and have sent to shew it my lord, that I may
find grace in thy sight.
