...into the tent of the two maidservants, but he did not find them; and he went out of Leah’s tent and came into Rachel’s tent.
34. And Rachel had taken the teraphim and put them in the camel’s saddlebag and sat upon them; and Laban searched all the tent but did not find them.
35. And she said to her father, "Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my Lord that I cannot rise before you, for the way of women is upon me." And he searched but did not find the teraphim.
36. And Jacob was angry and argued with Laban; and Jacob answered and said to Laban, "What is my transgression? What is my sin, that you have so hotly pursued after me?
37. Although you have searched all my goods, what have you found of all your household goods? Set it here before my brothers and your brothers, that they may judge between us both.
38. These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and I have not eaten the rams of your flock.
39. That which was torn by beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it. You required it from my hand, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
40. I was there: in the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.
41. Thus I have been twenty years in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you changed my wages ten times.
42. Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night."
43. And Laban answered and said to Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flock is my flock, and all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day to these my daughters or to their children whom they have borne?
44. And now come, let us make a covenant, I and you, and let it be a witness between me and you."
45. And Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar.
46. And Jacob said to his brothers, "Gather stones," and they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there upon the heap.
47. And Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha Aramaic for "heap of witness."; but Jacob called it Galeed Hebrew for "heap of witness.".
48. And Laban said, "This heap is a witness between me and you this day." Therefore, its name was called Galeed.
