(KJV.) GENESIS 31:39-46
Jacob flees from Laban
(39) That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee, I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst, thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
(40) Thus I was in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
(41) Thus have I been twenty years in thy house, I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
(42) Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty, God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
(43) And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children and these cattle are my cattle and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
(44) Now, therefore, come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
(45) And Jacob took a stone and set it up for a pillar.
(46) And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones, and they took stones and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap:
ADDENDUM:
Jacob received his blessings, but when returning to his homeland, Laban persecuted and grudgingly confronted him over his rewards: what did Jacob do to rectify the argument?
